An official from the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) shows pieces of jewellery seized by the Philippine government from former first lady Imelda Marcos, at the Central Bank headquarters in Manila on November 24, 2015. Philippine authorities on November 24 showcased a dazzling collection of jewels seized from the family of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos appraised in preparation for a possible auction. The long-hidden collection, seized in three batches after Marcos was overthrown in 1986, also provides a stark look at how the Marcos family enriched itself while the nation sank deeper into poverty.
