Former first lady Imelda Marcos is not dead, but Bacoor City mayor Lani Mercado-Revilla sent her condolences to the Marcos family via a post on the micro-blogging site Twitter on Monday morning.
“Our condolences to the Marcos Family. It was a pleasure and privilege to work with Cong. Imelda Romualdez Marcos,” Mercado-Revilla said on the erroneous post, which has already been deleted.
According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Mercado said that her account was hacked. There’s an ongoing investigation to identify the person responsible.
Revilla had tweeted an apology later, but it was also deleted.
“I would like to apologize for my tweet which I have erased. I received a news break message informing the public about Mrs. Marcos,” Revilla said.
According to reports, Imelda’s daughter Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos confirmed that her 87-year-old mother is in good health.
Imelda Marcos is the widow of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos. She is best known for her lavish lifestyle and extensive collection of shoes.
