Irene Romualdez Marcos-Araneta (Tagalog: [aɪˈɾin ˈmaɾkɔs]; born Maria Victoria Irene Romualdez Marcos; September 16, 1960) is the third child of the late former president Ferdinand Marcos and former first lady Imelda Marcos. Her brother Bongbong Marcos is the current president of the Philippines. Marcos's presence is known as being "the quiet one" because among the Marcos siblings, she is the only one not holding public office. Her best-remembered role in her father's 21-year rule involved expensive events, such as her 1983 wedding to Gregorio "Greggy" Maria Araneta III which was said to cost US$10.3 million, and for her September 1985 party on the presidential yacht BRP Ang Pangulo, whose lavishness caused a scandal when video coverage of it came out in the wake of the 1986 EDSA Revolution. She gained media attention after being tagged in the Panama Papers leak, and for triggering student protests after her attendance in various campus events.
