Eight-page letter, dated 21 March 1986, of the late Philippine President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos.

This was handwritten at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii (after his [alleged] kidnapping by the US Armed Forces) on 8.5"x 5.5" Malacanang desk pad papers.

It is addressed to "Mahal kong mga kababayan."  Translated: My beloved countrymen.

In 1986, photos of the letter was shown and transcribed in the "Philippine Daily Express," then, one of the Philippines' major broadsheet newspaper.
