What happens

Iginuhit ng Tadhana (The Ferdinand E. Marcos Story) (lit. 'Drawn by Fate'), also known as Man of Destiny, is a 1965 Philippine biographical historical drama film about then-Senate President Ferdinand Marcos. Directed by Mar S. Torres, Jose de Villa and Conrado Conde, the film stars Luis Gonzales as Marcos, Rosa Mia as Marcos' mother Josefa, and Gloria Romero as Marcos' wife Imelda. The film was produced by 777 Film Productions and was first released by Sampaguita Pictures in the Philippine provinces on August 24, 1965, during Marcos' campaign for president in the 1965 presidential election. The theatrical run of Iginuhit ng Tadhana was briefly suspended on September 2, 1965, by the Board of Censors for Motion Pictures due to the film having yet to be screened for the entire committee, though its exhibition was eventually allowed to continue five days later. Its sequel Pinagbuklod ng Langit was released in 1969. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
