Australian Woman Claiming to Be Philippine President’s Half-Sister Faces Court Over In-Flight Disturbance

Analisa Josefa Corr and her husband are accused of drunken behavior on a domestic flight, leading to bail conditions including a ban on drinking in airports or on planes.

• Analisa Josefa Corr, 53, claims to be the daughter of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and half-sister to current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., a claim the president has dismissed as a rumor.
• Corr and her husband, James Alexander Corr, were charged with causing a disturbance on a Jetstar flight from Hobart to Sydney after allegedly drinking alcohol they brought onboard and assaulting a fellow passenger.
• The couple pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to comply with cabin crew safety directions, consuming unauthorized alcohol, and, in Corr's case, common assault.
• A Sydney court allowed the couple to retrieve their passports under bail conditions that include a $20,000 deposit each and a prohibition on consuming alcohol in airports or on flights.
• Corr, an interior designer and photographer, plans to travel to Indonesia for a project, with the case scheduled to return to court on February 24.
