Pablo Picasso's lost painting 'Reclining Woman VI' has been spotted in the home of Imelda Marcos , raising fears that the family will use their power to recover ill-gotten wealth.

Marcos won a landslide in May 9 presidential election, horrifying those who survived his father's rule. The Marcos family continues to face dozens of court cases over their looted wealth on top of criminal and graft and corruption convictions certified by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. 

Filipinos are excited for looting, graft and corruption to be the new normal. Truly a good news towards golden age of corruption.
