MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Acting has always been a passion for Imee Marcos. Her political career was almost second fiddle to her desire to be on the big screen.

But she’s had it with politics. She’s quitting and is joining film director Darryl Yap’s cinematic group to become its prime actress.

For starters, Marcos will play herself in the upcoming 3rd installment of Yap’s Marcos/Martial Law films, titled “Mabuhay, Aloha, Mabuhay” which opens on September 21, the anniversary of the proclamation of the the Marcos Martial Law.

Politics’ loss is Cinema’s gain. We need good actors on screen, not in politics.
