Irene Marcos

Irene Romualdez Marcos-Araneta (Tagalog: [ˈaɪɾin ˈmaɾkɔs]; born Maria Victoria Irene Romualdez Marcos; September 16, 1960) is the third child of the late former president Ferdinand Marcos and former first lady Imelda Marcos. Marcos's presence is known as being "the quiet one" because among the Marcos siblings, she is the only one not holding public office. Her best-remembered role in her father's 21-year rule involved expensive events, such as her 1983 wedding to Gregorio "Greggy" Maria Araneta III which was said to cost US$10.3 million, and for her September 1985 party on the presidential yacht BRP Ang Pangulo, whose lavishness caused a scandal when video coverage of it came out in the wake of the 1986 EDSA Revolution.

In this Philippine name for married women, the birth middle name or maternal family name is Romualdez, the birth surname or paternal family name is Marcos, and the marital name is Araneta.
