Imelda Arcilla Papin (born January 26, 1956) is a Filipino singer and politician. Dubbed the "Sentimental Songstress," Papin sang songs such as "Bakit (Kung Liligaya Ka sa Piling ng Iba)" and "Isang Linggong Pag-ibig." She was married to Jose Antonio Carrion.

An upcoming film entitled Loyalista, about Papin's stay in Hawaii with deposed president Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda, is set for release in 2023.

Early life[edit]

Papin was born on January 26, 1956, in Presentacion, Camarines Sur. She started her career in a remote fishing village in the province. Aspiring to become a singer, she participated in several regional singing contests before moving to Manila to pursue her career further. She attended Bitaogan Elementary School, St. Brigette High School, the University of the East, and the University of Hawaii, where she received a BS in Commerce with a major in management.

Music career[edit]

Papin recorded her second album, Kutob (1978), [clarification needed] which included the song "Bakit" that gained significant popularity on local radio stations.[citation needed] She continued her success with additional singles that reached the top of the charts.

Papin relocated to Las Vegas, where she successfully revived her career, becoming a regular performer and gaining celebrity status. She was the first Filipino artist to host a three-hour telethon on Channel 18 in Los Angeles, California. Currently, she hosts a television program on LA-18 called Imelda Papin in America. Additionally, she hosts a two-hour radio program called the Imelda Papin Voice of the Heart Radio Show on KLAV 1230 AM in Las Vegas.

Political career[edit]

In 1995, she ran against Luis Villafuerte, Sr. and Jose Bulaong for Governor of the Province of Camarines Sur but was defeated by Villafuerte. In 1998, she was elected as Vice Governor, a post she held for two terms. In 2004, she ran as congresswoman in province's fourth congressional district but she lost to incumbent Representative Felix R. Alfelor Jr. In 2010, she ran for Senate in the Philippines under Bangon Pilipinas but she lost.[1] In 2013, the Commission on Elections disqualified her from running as congresswoman in the Legislative district of San Jose del Monte City in the province of Bulacan due to lack of residency but reversed its decision on April 25.[2] She went on to lose the election. In 2016, she ran again as a congresswoman in the Camarines Sur's fourth congressional district but she lost to incumbent Representative Arnulfo Fuentebella. In 2019, she made a political comeback when she ran for Vice Governor as running mate of Governor Migz Villafuerte against board member Russel Bañes under PDP–Laban and eventually won. In 2022, she ran against Luigi Villafuerte and Rolando Andaya for Governor of the Province of Camarines Sur but was defeated by Villafuerte.
