Personal Background
Born on September 16, 1960, Irene Celestina Romualdez Marcos-Araneta is the third child of the late former Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and former First Lady Imelda Marcos. She is the younger sister of Pres. Bongbong Marcos and Senator Imee Marcos. She is known to the public as “the quiet one”. She is the only one among the Marcos siblings who does not hold public office.
Irene Marcos is married to Gregorio Maria Araneta III. One of the controversies that surround her despite her “more private” life are the alleged expensive events.
