Imelda gives Cory family advice

MANILA (AFP): Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos has offered unsolicited advice to Corazon Aquino, the woman who pushed her late husband Ferdinand Marcos from power but who could not stop her youngest daughter getting pregnant by a married actor.

"If I were Cory, I would reach out to Kris," Imelda told the Philippine Inquirer newspaper.

Movie starlet Kristina Bernadette Aquino is not on speaking terms with the former president, a devout Catholic, having bolted her mother's house a month ago. She has since publicly announced that she is three months pregnant and living with action star Phillip Salvador, who is nearly twice her age.

Marcos said Kris "is in desperate need of love" at this time. Aquino led a "people power" revolt that toppled the 20-year Marcos regime and forced the first family into U.S. exile in 1986.
