MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos will fly to China and Hong Kong after her travel plans were approved by two courts trying her over alleged ill-gotten wealth, her lawyer said Friday.

Marcos will leave Saturday for the northeastern Chinese province of Jilin, where she has been invited as a guest of honor at a Sept. 1-5 trade exhibition, her lawyer Robert Sison said. She will then proceed to Hong Kong, where she will visit an eye doctor for glaucoma.

The Manila regional trial court and the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court have allowed Marcos to travel for two weeks until Sept. 14, but asked her to post a travel bond of 950,000 pesos (US$20,300; euro14,915), Sison said.

The 78-year-old widow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos has not been detained, but faces a string of criminal and civil cases related to billions of dollars in alleged ill-gotten wealth amassed by her family during her husband's two-decades in office.

The former beauty queen, known for her extensive shoe and jewelry collections, has previously been allowed by the courts to travel overseas.

A "people power" revolt ousted Ferdinand Marcos in February 1986, forcing him and his family to flee to Hawaii, where he died in exile in 1989.
