This week \u2014 Imelda in Manila, me in New York \u2014 traded phone calls. Years come, tragedies go, but friendship of half a century goes on.<\/p>\n<p>When Kayser-Roth Corporation owned Miss Universe I, assistant to the president brought celebrity judges and in 1974 arranged to televise it worldwide from Manila. First time outside the USA. Estimated audience 500,000. Imelda built us a special theater. Came fearful hurricane warnings. Our crew numbered hundreds. Calmly, the first lady sent up her air force to \u201cseed the clouds.\u201d What that meant, who knew. What it did, I know. Black clouds moved off the island of Luzon. The day cleared. The show televised. Next day that hurricane socked us for three days. I was there, I know.<\/p>\n<p>The country is 12 hours ahead.

Hey, it\u2019s a long flight.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes, for sure I know the mom of the new president of the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>On the phone we remembered her New York trial. Life then was her East Side townhouse and Gen. Douglas MacArthur\u2019s Waldorf suite where, one day, her friend Doris Duke, USA\u2019s richest female, brought two lawyers plus Imelda\u2019s needed millions for bail. Nobody was to know. Me already there, I got locked into a john where I could hear it all.<\/p>\n<p>June 30 her \u201conly son\u201d becomes president. She says: \u201cOf age when his father was alive, he always wanted to be a politician. School was in England. He spent 20 years studying there. And then ran in our province. Became governor, senator and \u2014 with my wishes and prayers \u2014 president. I will stand there wearing my best Filipino dress. I still keep my old clothes but my daughter is making a special gown.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Ferdinand-Marcos.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Marcos' son Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was elected president with her &quot;wishes and prayers.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-22543293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Ferdinand-Marcos.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Ferdinand-Marcos.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Ferdinand-Marcos.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Marcos\u2019 son Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was elected president with her \u201cwishes and prayers.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Lisa Marie David\/File Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI know what difficulty is.
