Genealogy Trivia: When she was first registered after her birth, the person who registered her name must have misheard and wrote down HILDA instead of IMELDA. Of course, she would soon be baptized as Imelda Remedios Visitacion Romualdez y Trinidad. Years later, she would become the First Lady of the Philippines and many years after that, would become the ONLY former First Lady to witness her own son's election and assumption to the Philippine Presidency.
Happy birthday, First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos!

It’s really interesting to discover that it was Hilda before it was Imelda R. Marcos. A historical note that, like studying for a CIPD Level 5 Diploma, has layers upon layers of personal change and development.
