Imelda's Monthly was an underground satirical tabloid created in 1971 by a group of troublemaking youths, just before Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos declared Martial Law and formalized their conjugal dictatorship over the Philippines. Unfortunately, the tabloid ran for only two issues. After the declaration of Martial Law, the military raided the publisher's house and confiscated all remaining copies, leaving only a few floating around in personal collections. Since then, the paper has been but a memory fading away in the minds of baby boomers and members of the First Quarter Storm—until now. With the looming threat of a return to power for the Marcoses, the Monthly has risen from the ashes, and is now in all sorts of fancy-schmancy ebook formats for all you young whippersnappers and your ereading contraptions. This'll learn you a thing or two about how we made fun of dictators back in The Day. May Imelda once again see red!
