The ONLY redeeming quality I ever saw in her was her taste in shoes.
Other than that, she's just an ordinary greedy, evil, power-mongering despot.

The ONLY redeeming quality I ever saw in her was her taste in shoes.

I read once that the Philippine government opened a 'museum' on the Marcos regime, including examples of their numerous crimes against the people.  One area is devoted entirely to her shoes, which are all on display.  Due to the humidity of the country, the leather of the shoes is in danger of falling apart if they are not polished and maintained.  To that end, they have employed there one man whose exclusive job is to just polish her shoes all day long, day after day.  When he gets to the end of the 'collection' he starts again, doing nothing but polishing her shoes all day.

I'm hoping that this person is a really bad criminal of some sort and this is his punishment, but I vaguely recall a short interview with him where he said that he enjoyed the job because by keeping her shoes in good shape, he is maintaining the memory of the Marcos' innumerable excesses and by doing so hopefully his country will be spared such evil in the future.
