Jose ("Joe") Guevara (27 August 1917 – 2 December 2002) was a Filipino journalist, political commentator and art collector.
[2] From 1938 until his death in 2002, he wrote a popular political column titled "Point of View" for the Manila Bulletin, the Philippines' largest English-language daily newspaper.
[6] On April 6, 1954, while reporting for the Manila Times at a legislative session, he introduced Imelda Romualdez to then-congressman Ferdinand Marcos, and a romance between the two developed rapidly.
[7] Guevara was described as Marcos's "steady sidekick", and spent much time with the couple, reporting on their relationship which received much attention from society columnists.
