Nation : Marcos in Hospital for Pneumonia
Former Philippines President Ferdinand E. Marcos was in guarded condition today with pneumonia after entering St. Francis Medical Center for the third time in little more than a month, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The 71-year-old Marcos, also suffering from bronchial asthma, returned to the hospital Sunday afternoon and was moved to intensive care. His wife, Imelda, was with him at the hospital, a Marcos aide said. Marcos’ two previous hospital stays, one for nine days and the other for seven, were for treatment of congestive heart failure.
