Marcos Jr. also revealed that his parents were dismayed over his lack of interest to enter politics then. Based on the post, he stressed that life can’t really be predicted.
“Medyo nadidismaya sa akin magulang ko kasi nag-iisa akong lalaki. Pero ayaw na ayaw ko [pumasok ng politika], nakikita ko magulang ko ang hirap ng buhay nila, ang daming sakripisyo…Sabi [ko] tahimik lang na buhay, that’s why I went to business school,” the President said.

Their children including presidential son and Ilocos Norte Congressman Sandro Marcos are also in the same field now. However, recently, Sen. Imee Marcos accused PBBM of allegedly using illegal drugs.
