Araneta Marcos also served as the main strategist in her husband's presidential campaign, and is seen as one of the key people influencing her husband's presidency.[7]

Early life and education

Liza Araneta was born on August 21, 1959, in Manila, Philippines, to Manuel L. Araneta Jr., a Filipino basketball Olympian who was born in Iloilo City but was raised in Bago, Negros Occidental, and Milagros A. Cacho.[4] Both of her parents were of Spanish descent, and came from prominent political backgrounds, while her connection to the Araneta family is traced to her Basque roots.[8] [9] Araneta is also first cousins with Jeric Soriano, the father of filmmaker Paul Soriano. She, along with her husband were also the principal sponsors of Soriano's marriage with actress Toni Gonzaga.[10] Aside from being affiliated with the Marcos family, she also has a connection with the Roxas family, as her father is the first cousin of Judith "Judy" Araneta-Roxas, the mother of politician Mar Roxas, which makes her and the former interior secretary second cousins.[11] She also has ties with the Cojuangco family, as Milagros' youngest sister, Rosario A. Cacho, was married to Pedro Cojuangco, the eldest brother of former president Corazon Aquino.[4]

Araneta studied at the Ateneo de Manila University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in 1981, and got her Bachelor of Laws at the same university in 1985. After graduating from the Ateneo, Liza enrolled at the New York University, where she completed her post-graduate courses in criminal procedure.[4]

Career

Araneta began her career as a lawyer in New York City after graduating from the New York University, and became a law professor in various law colleges and universities across the country. She began her teaching career at the Far Eastern University Institute of Law in Manila from 1996 to 1998, and at the Northwestern University College of Law in 1998 to 2006.[4] In 2006, she temporarily stopped her career as a professor to become a founding member of the MOST (Marcos, Ochoa, Serapio & Tan) Law Firm.[4] Araneta Marcos left the firm in January 2019 to start her own law firm, named M&A Associates.[4]

Araneta Marcos eventually returned to teaching in 2010, where she became a professor at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila from 2010 to 2014, before moving to Saint Louis University in 2014 to 2018, and lastly at the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) College of Law from 2018 to 2020. During her time as a professor in MMSU, she also served as an assistant dean within the College of Law, before she ended her teaching career for a second time, after she struggled to adopt to the shift from face-to-face classes to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Her claim on her online resume of being a member of the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) was questioned in April 2022. In an email reply to Rappler, the NYSBA responded that she is not a member of their organization, stating that her name and variations of such name do not exist in their database.[12] Vera Files also conducted a separate fact-checking research which ended in a similar conclusion.[13]

First Lady of the Philippines (2022–present)

During the 2022 Philippine elections, Araneta Marcos served as the main strategist for her husband's presidential campaign, and collaborated with Paul Soriano in making Marcos' campaign advertisements.[7] [14] When it comes to certain political positions, Araneta Marcos favors the legalization of divorce in the Philippines but for "cogent reasons" maintaining that marriage should not be easily be dissolvable. She is also in favor legalizing abortion for in cases of pregnancies resulting from rape and incest as well as the legalizing of same-sex relationships. Araneta-Marcos temporarily left her own law firm following her husband's victory in the 2022 elections, in order to fulfill her duties as First Lady of the Philippines.[15] Her assumption of the role, marks the first time that the Philippines has a first lady since Loi Ejercito, the wife of President Joseph Estrada.

Aside from being the First Lady, Araneta Marcos continued her teaching career in part-time. In August 2022, she chose to teach criminal law part-time at West Visayas State University in Iloilo, her father's home province.[16] On July 27, 2022, she hosted a meeting with United States Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro and his wife, Betty Del Toro, and the United States Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carlson.[17] On August 3, 2022, Araneta Marcos hosted her first Malacañang event, as she hosted the lady ambassadors' luncheon, held at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall.[18] On the same day, she also launched her own Facebook page.[19] On August 4, 2022, she also held a luncheon with Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian and his dignitaries.[20] On August 8, 2022, Araneta Marcos served as the guest of honor in the 78th commencement exercises at the University of Batangas.[21]

On August 9, 2022, Araneta Marcos served as the guest of honor at the graduation of the VIP Protection Course Class 128-2022 at the Presidential Security Group (PSG) Headquarters in Malacañang Park.[22] On August 15, 2022, she attended the Indian Independence Day reception at the Shangri-La at the Fort, Manila.[23] In a inauguration event on November 3, 2022, Araneta Marcos was named as the National President and Chief Girl Scout of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines.[24]

Renovations at the Malacañang Palace

During the early days of Bongbong Marcos' presidency, Araneta Marcos spearheaded the renovation of Malacañang Palace to enhance and modernize its interiors with Filipino designs. The last major renovation occurred in 1978-1979 under Former First Lady Imelda Marcos. Key areas, including the Reception Hall, Grand Staircase, Internal House Affairs Office, Office of the Social Secretary, Protocol Office, Functional Staff Quarters (formerly the Engineering Warehouse), the central kitchen, Palace Gates, staff offices, and staff sleeping quarters underwent significant improvements. The renovation also introduced a new indoor garden, enhancing key areas with plants and flowers. Ongoing renovation works are being carried out in Bahay ng Pagbabago, the current residence of President Bongbong Marcos.[25] [26] [27]

Araneta Marcos also launched renovation projects at the Bahay Ugnayan Museum, the Teus Mansion, and the Goldenberg Mansion, which now serves as museums showcasing the country's culture and history made by Philippine Presidents.[28] The Bahay Ugnayan Museum currently displays the incumbent President Bongbong Marcos's life through the years, while the Teus Mansion displays various memorabilia used by Former Presidents and First Ladies.[29] [30] Meanwhile, the Goldenberg Mansion is currently renovated into an events venue for specialized events.[31] [32] However, criticisms have been made over lavish events held at the said mansion.[33]

Laperal Mansion renovation

In March 2024, the Laperal Mansion, also known as the Presidential Guest House, was reopened as the mansion was renovated and currently serves as a guest house for VIP officials, foreign heads of state, and foreign dignitaries.[34] [35] [36] The renovation project included the renovation of the Mansion's state rooms, guest bedrooms, and a spa, with rooms named after key figures in Philippine History and Past Philippine Presidents, while partnering with local artists and designers for the designs incorporated in each room.[37] [38] [39]

The Mansion renovation

Upon the completion of the Laperal Mansion renovation project in March 2024, plans were also announced for the renovation of The Mansion, the presidential summer house in Baguio. 6 months after the plans were made public, the opening of the newly renovated Presidential Museum at the The Mansion was inaugurated on 8 September 2024, with Araneta Marcos leading the opening rights. The renovated mansion features a variety of artworks and historical artifacts from the Malacañang Palace.[40] Araneta Marcos took inspiration of the mansion's renovation works to the Teus Mansion, the main Presidential Museum, after its successful reopening in June 2023. Renovation works for the other parts of the area are reportedly still ongoing, which is aimed to rejuvenate the city and mansion's significance and rich history.[41]

During the opening of the Presidential Museum at the National Library of the Philippines, Araneta Marcos also emphasized the importance of libraries in the educational system, and has loaned over 40,000 books for organizing, cleaning, and repairs.[46]

She also considers the rehabilitation of the Pasig River as a top priority, wishing to transform the Pasig River into an attraction like the River Thames and Seine as "arteries of commerce, lifestyle, tourism, and culture" that "draw visitors from home and overseas".[47] [48] Araneta Marcos also spearheaded the implementation of the Pasig Bigyang Buhay Muli Project, a river rehabilitation project that includes the construction of the Pasig River Esplanade, in collaboration with his husband, President Bongbong Marcos, DHSUD Secretary Jose Acuzar, WTA Design Studio Principal Architect Willaim Ti Jr., and other local officials.[49] [50] [51] [52]

Political views

As First Lady, Araneta Marcos has been subjected to accusations of her interfering with her husband's administration, which she has denied. In an interview by broadcaster Anthony Taberna in April 2024, she acknowledged that her relationship with Marcos' vice president, Sara Duterte had declined after she said she saw the latter laughing when her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte publicly called his successor a drug addict ("bangag") and accused their son Sandro of seeking higher political office during a rally against proposed constitutional reform in January 2024.[53] Araneta Marcos also admitted to ignoring the Vice President in public functions following the incident;[54] in February that year, she was seen snubbing the Vice President during President Bongbong Marcos' departure to Vietnam.[55]

In the same interview with Taberna, Araneta Marcos called herself "the worst politician", stating that her husband once called her in jest the "ambassador of badwill" due to her misremembering politicians' names.[56]

Liza Araneta Marcos first met Bongbong Marcos, the son of former president Ferdinand Marcos and her would-be husband, in 1989 in New York City through mutual friends.
