According to source documents provided by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG),[39] the Marcos family stole US$5 billion–$10 billion from the Central Bank of the Philippines.[40][41] The PCGG also maintained that the Marcos family enjoyed a decadent lifestyle,[42][43] taking billions of dollars from the Philippines between 1965 and 1986.[44] Upon his legacy, Marcos is widely regarded as among the most controversial figures in the Philippines,[45][46] with its governmental rule formed an kleptocracy[47] under Marcos's dictatorial regime was widely condemned,[48][49][50] and his regime was infamous for corruption,[51][52][53] extravagance,[54][55][56] and brutality.[57][58][25] His wife, Imelda Marcos, made infamous in her own right by excesses that characterized her and her husband's "conjugal dictatorship",[59][60][61] is the source of the term Imeldific.[62] Two of their children, Imee and Bongbong, became active in Philippine politics, with Bongbong being elected president in 2022. Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos held the Guinness World Record for the largest-ever theft from a government for decades,[63] although Guinness took the record down from their website while it underwent periodic review a few weeks before the 2022 Philippine presidential elections.[64]Allegiance
