Ferdinand Marcos (1917 - 1989)

Si Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos (11 Setyembre 1917 – 28 Setyembre 1989) ay ang ika-10 Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas mula 30 Disyembre 1965 – 25 Pebrero 1986. Siya ay isang abogado at nagsilbing kasapi ng Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan ng Pilipinas mula 1949 hanggang 1959 at kasapi ng Senado ng Pilipinas mula 1959 hanggang 1965 bago naging Pangulo ng Pilipinas noong 1965 para sa apat na taong termino. Sa kanyang unang termino, sinimulan ni Marcos ang paggugol sa mga gawaing pampubliko kabilang ang pagtatayo ng mga lansangan, tulay, mga health center at mga eskwela. Kanyang napanatili ang kanyang kasikatan sa kanyang unang termino at noong 1969 ay muling nahalal bilang pangulo para sa ikalawang 4 na taong termino.

Si Marcos ay isinilang noong 11 Setyembre 1917 sa Sarrat, Ilocos Norte.Si Don Mariano R. Marcos at Donya Josefa Edralin ang kaniyang magulang.Mayroong siyang tatlong kapatid, si Dr. Pacifico, Elizabeth at Fortuna. Ang kanyang ama ay naging kongresista ng Ilocos at gobernador ng Davao. Si Donya Josefa naman ay isang dating guro sa kanilang bayan. Limang taong gulang lamang siya nang pumasok sa elementarya sa Sarrat Central School. Sa pamantasan ng Pilipinas siya kumuha ng Abogasya at nagtapos bilang Cum Laude noong Marso 1939. Siya ay iskolar sa buong panahon ng kanyang pag- aaral sa Pamantasan ng Pilipinas at naging kilala siya sa campus dahil sa sinasabing kahusayan sa debate at pagtatalumpati at maging sa larangan ng palakasan tulad ng swimming, boxing, at wrestling ay kinilala siya. Nagsulat din siya sa Philippines Collegian, ang opisyal na pahayagan ng Pamantasan ng Pilipinas. 

Nagri- review noon si Ferdinand para sa bar exams nang matalo ang kanyang ama sa muli nitong pagtakbo bilang kongresista. Ang tumalo ditong si Julio Nalundasan ay nabaril at namatay pagkatapos ng halalan. Si Ferdinand ang napagbintangan, at kahit pa nga isang mahusay na abogado ang nagtanggol sa kanya, nahatulan pa rin siya ng labimpitong taong pagkabilanggo. Nasa loob siya ng kulungan ng maging topnotcher sa bar exams at nang maging ganap na abogado ay hiniling niya sa Kataas-taasang Hukuman na payagan siyang ipagtanggol ang sarili sa kasong ibinintang sa kanya at pinayagan siya ng Korte Suprema at napawalang sala.

Nang sumiklab ang Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, inaangkin ni Marcos na sumapi siya sa United States Army Forces in the Far East bilang Intelligence Adviser Officer o Meydor ng Ika-21 Dibisyon ng Hukbong Lakad. Inangkin ni Marcos na siya ay lumaban sa pagtatanggol ng Bataan laban sa mga Hapones at naging isa sa mga biktima ng Martsa ng Kamatayan sa Bataan. Inangkin niyang siya ay kinulong at pinalaya ng mga Hapones saCapas ngunit siya ay muling dinakip, kinulong at pinahirapan sa Kuta Santiago sa Intramuros, Maynila. Kanyang inangking siya ay nakatakas at nagtatag ng kilusang gerilya sa Hilagang Luzon na tinatawag na "Maharlika". 

Kanya ring inangkin na siya ay isa sa mga magagaling na pinuno ng mga gerilya sa Luzon at ang kanyang diumano’y pinakahanga-hangang katapangawang-gawa ay sa Labanan ng Pasong Bessang at tumulong sa pagitan ng mga sundalong Pilipino at Amerikanong lumaban sa Hapon. Gayunpaman, sa paulit-ulit na imbestigasyon ng United States Army, walang natagpuang basehan ang mga imbestigador sa pag-aangkin ni Marcos ng kanyang inaangking kabayanihan sa mga operasyong militar laban sa mga pwersang Hapones mula 1942 hanggang 1944. 

 Pagkalipas ng tatlong taon, namatay siya noong 28 Setyembre 1989 sa Honolulu, Hawaii sa edad na 72 sa cardiac arrest matapos ng matagal na pakikipaglaban sa mga karamdaman ng bato, baga at puso. Ang bangkay ni Marcos ay inuwi sa Pilipinas noong 1993 at nakatanghal sa isang mausoleo sa Batac, Ilocos Norte. Hiniling ng pamilya Marcos na ilibing si Marcos sa Libingan ng mga Bayani ngunit ito ay sinalungat ng maraming mga politiko at mga biktima ng mga karapatang pantao ni Marcos.

Who was the Miss Universe of 1952

(born 20 August 1934 in Muhos) is a Finnish-born U.S resides beauty queen. In 1952 she won the national beauty contest Suomen Neito and was presented with a trip to the USA to participate in the first-ever Miss Universe pageant, becoming its first titleholder in history.

Early life

Kuusela's parents, Aarne Aleksander Kuusela (12 September 1902, Uusikaupunki - 7 December 1969, Muhos) and Martta Elisabeth Kyrö (3 April 1903, Kestilä - 21 November 1963, Muhos) met each other in Ontario, Canada and later married there. Their first baby was born in Canada. After several years in Canada, they returned to Finland to settle in Muhos. Martta gave birth to five girls and one boy; one of the girls died when only two-and-a-half years old. Kuusela was born on August 20, 1934, she was the fourth oldest of the children.

She went to middle school in Muhos, and in 1951 she started attending the women's college in Porvoo. Kuusela liked swimming, skiing, gymnastics and after successfully completing her Abitur, she intended to apply to the University of Helsinki Gymnastics Institute.

When Kuusela won Finland's national pageant, Suomen Neito, on May 24, 1952, she was awarded a box of chocolates, a gold bangle, and a returnticket sponsored by Pan American Airways to the United States.

On June 17, Kuusela took a Pan Am flight from Helsinki to Long Beach, California where she took part on the first Miss Universe contest.

Thirty contestants participated in the first Miss Universe pageant in 1952. The pageant was held on June 28, 1952, and Kuusela, as Suomen Neito, captured the crown. At her crowning she was only 17 years old. At the time she weighed 49 kg (108 lb), and her height was 1.65 m (5 ft 5 in).

Immediately after her winning there was a Finnish movie made of her, called Maailman kaunein tyttö (World's most beautiful girl) where she played herself, and Tauno Palo acted Jack Coleman (opposite role). It was directed by Veikko Itkonen, with writing credits going to Mika Waltari.

Marriage and life in the Philippines

On February 22, 1953, Kuusela took a journey round the world, during which time she met Filipino businessman Virgilio Hilario. Less than a year after being crowned, Kuusela chose to give up her Miss Universe crown on May 4, 1953 to marry Hilario in Tokyo after a whirlwind courtship.

They had met in March at a dance in Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines, when Kuusela as Miss Universe had gone to the Islands for the International Trade Exposition. They honeymooned in the Hawaiian Islands, toured the United States and then Europe,
 before settling in Manila, in the Philippines where they had five children:

Arne Hilario, married with 3 children, lives in Chile
Anna-Lisa De Gari, married with 2 children, lives in Spain
Jussi Hilario, married, lives in Canada
Eva-Maria Hess, married with 2 children, lives in United States
Mikko Hilario, lives in the Philippines
Kuusela briefly managed several apartments in Metro Manila, one of them being the (now-demolished) Gilarmi Apartments and Suites in Makati, where she and Hilario lived before moving to the exclusive community of Forbes Park. Their house was on a road informally known as "Millionaire Street". She was also in one film in the Philippines around this time.

The daughter of Eva-Maria Hess, seems to be following in Armi's footsteps. Natalia Marie Hess (born 19 December 1991 in Manila) is a model and has her own website

Later life[edit]
Hilario died of a heart attack on September 7, 1975, and Kuusela remarried to American diplomat Albert Williams on June 8, 1978. The couple moved to Barcelona, then to Izmir, Turkey, before settling in La Jolla, a community in San Diego, California. As of 2011, she and her husband were still living there.

In 2012 Armi was awarded the Order of the White Rose of Finland


Armi visited her native town of Muhos in August 2014. Her visit was an official meeting with the city municipal manager


Kuusela is still active in her community, participating in charities and involved in cancer research at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.
