MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Everybody knows about former Philippine First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos’ collection of over 3,000 pairs of shoes. They are now displayed in a national museum in Marikina, a Metro Manila town known for its world-class shoe manufacturing industry.

Korina Sanchez is a broadcast journalist who has her own collection of — not shoes — but flip flops.

Sanchez, of course is the wife of Interior and Local Governments Secretary Mar Roxas, who is running for president in 2016 as President Aquino’s anointed successor.

In an interview with CNN Philippines today, Sanchez was asked about what she envisions her role would be as First Lady if Roxas gets elected.

“The first thing I would do is to replace all of Imelda’s shoes displayed at the Shoe Museum with my colorful collection of tsinelas  (flip flops).”

“I think the tsinelas  would be better representative of the true culture of the Filipino people” Sanchez said.
