...Manila's city hall, waving placards that proclaimed, NINOY, YOU HAVE NOT DIED IN VAIN!, TALLY SHEET, NOT TALLY CHEAT! and ONE VOTE, ONE COUNT! In the capital's commercial center of Makati, a recount took away the victory of UNIDO Candidate Aurora ("Au-Au") Pijuan-Manotoc, 34, the former wife of Sportsman Tommy Manotoc, who is now married to the President's daughter Imee. Au-Au's outraged followers responded by storming the Makati city hall, flinging stones against the building and burning furniture in its courtyard...
BORN. To Maria Imelda ("Imee") Marcos, 27, older daughter of Philippine President Ferdinand and First Lady Imelda Marcos, and Tomas Manotoc, 33, divorced amateur sportsman whom she married in Virginia 16 months ago: their first child, a son (he has two children by a previous marriage that under Philippine law is indissoluble); in Honolulu.

Manotoc's family refused to believe it and called the press conference "well rehearsed." Manotoc admitted that military officials had made it clear to him that he could not contact his family or friends until he had read the public statement exonerating the Marcoses. He had never seen his captors, since he had been blindfolded or forced to face a concrete wall. Although he said at the press conference that...
After discussions with his family on whether or not "to go on with the script," as his brother Dini put it, Manotoc called a second press conference, only to announce that he would have nothing more to say. Friends said he was torn by conflicting ties to his family and his new wife, and under great emotional strain from his experience. Said a family intimate: "He's terrified." It appeared doubtful that Tommy and Imee could salvage their relationship. She did meet with him last week at Malacañang Palace, the presidential residence, where she has been living...
