Marcos shoes saved from city floods
Eight hundred pairs of shoes donated by former Philippines first lady Imelda Marcos have been rescued from floods that devastated the country.
Shoe museum staff quickly moved Marcos's footwear to top shelves as floodwaters rose knee-deep inside the building, Marikina city mayor Maria Lourdes Fernando said.
Marikina, east of Philippines capital Manila, is the centre of the country's shoe industry.
Thousands of Marikina residents remain homeless and tons of debris and mud are being scooped up in the massive clean-up following the September 26 floods brought by Tropical Storm Ketsana.
The flamboyant widow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos will forever be remembered for her dazzling jewels and the 1,220 pairs of shoes she left behind in the presidential palace after a popular revolt toppled her husband in 1986.
