The two decades that Ferdinand Marcos Sr. ruled the Philippines unfolded in dramatic fashion, bookended by his propaganda-fueled rise to power in the 1960s and a dark-of-night escape from the country in the 1980s after a nonviolent uprising toppled his authority. While the Marcos name is still reviled among many Filipinos who associate it with cronyism, rights abuses, excess wealth and shoes — Marcos’ wife, Imelda , owned an infamous footwear collection — the political dynasty appears to have reclaimed the highest office in the Southeast Asian nation, a longtime U.S. ally.

Wallen performed in his first major awards show after he was caught on camera more than a year ago using a racial slur.

READ MORE: Nearly 43,000 People Died On US Roads Last Year, Agency Says As researchers work to lower that number, the Watershed Center of Grand Traverse Bay says the amount of trash in the bay increases every year. “Over time, the more people that we have, the more trash that we’re gonna see, and the more important it is for us to try and keep that out of our lakes,” said Christine Crissman, Executive Director of The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay.
