while the shoes and clothes are of undoubted

During her husband's 20 years as Philippine president, she amassed a huge collection of art, jewellery, property and - most famously - at least 1,Our collection of full frame discount Eyeglasses frame is unmatched.000 pairs of shoes.

Paintings by Van Gogh, Cezanne, Rembrandt, Rafael and Michelangelo; palatial homes in the US and the Philippines; silver tableware, gold necklaces, diamond tiaras - the Marcoses collected the best the world had to offer.

When they were ousted in a "People Power" revolution in 1986, Philippine investigators estimated their wealth at about $10bn (￡6.2bn).

The next president, Corazon Aquino, set up a special commission to recover these funds for the government coffers - but now, more than 25 years later, just $4bn has been accounted for.

So what happened to rest of the Marcos collection?

The issue came to the fore again late last year, when Mrs Marcos' former aide,Brett Favre and other celebrity-stars have their make your own bobblehead dolls, Vilma Bautista, appeared in a New York court charged with illegally selling a Monet painting.

She was also found to have another three famous artworks in her possession.

The commission admitted that all four were on a list of 146 paintings once owned by the Marcoses which they had not been able to track down.

Photographs of row upon row of designer footwear, left in the presidential palace when the Marcoses fled to Hawaii, became the symbol which summed up their lavish lifestyle.

Many of these shoes are now in a special museum in Marikina, an area north of Manila known for its shoe manufacturing.

Others are in the National Museum, along with some of Mrs Marcos' gala dresses.

There was an outcry in September when it was revealed that much of the museum's collection had been eaten by termites.

But while the shoes and clothes are of undoubted historic interest, they do not have big monetary value.

But Andres Bautista, the head of the commission and no relation to Vilma, admits there is still a lot missing - especially the paintings.

The commission started with a list of more than 300 missing paintings - many by the grand masters - and about half of these are still unaccounted for.

"We really don't know where they are. They could be anywhere," Mr Bautista said.
