Here’s what Imee Marcos said about the rocky relationship between the president and the vice president.
Senator Imee Marcos was asked about the controversial relationship between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte.
Former political allies President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte are seemingly in quite a rocky relationship. In a previous article, Duterte said “never again” to teaming with Marcoses.
According to the vice president, there was no friendship at all prior to the moment they became running mates for the 2022 elections. They just talk about the campaign and their work.
“Ang kaibigan ko talaga si Senator Imee Marcos, kilala niya ako since 2012,” Duterte said. Weeks after this remark, Marcos Jr. admitted that he was “a little dismayed” about it. He thought they were friends and he felt that he was deceived.
Recently, the female Marcos senator was asked about this. Aware of this tension between the two leaders of the country who are both close to her, she showed a hands-off approach when asked.
She’d rather not fuel the fire. She expressed, “Kapag may dalawa kayong kaibigan ‘di nagkakaunawaan, gagatungan mo pa ba? Palagay ko hindi ano.”
As a loyal friend and a loyal sibling, she’d choose not to say anything as she believes that they can speak for themselves. She admitted that she is trying to talk to her brother and give him pieces of advice.
“Lagi kong sinasabi napakabait ng kapatid ko. Pero palibhasa mabait huwag naman pinagsasamantalahan,” she said.
Amid all the issues between the former allies, she still wanted the Uniteam to work. It was a dream that happened in 2022 that aims for unity among the people and the government and she is still holding on to this dream.
To recall, the partnership turned sour because of differences in certain policies like confidential funds for Duterte’s office, a push for charter change, and the issues in the West Philippine Sea with China.
What can you say about this? Let us know in the comments!
Imee Marcos is really ” MAUTAK”. She does not want to offend PBBM nor Sarah Duterte. Why? because.. if Imee would go with PBBM, she will lose the voters of Sarah Duterte. If Imee would go with Sarah Duterte, she will lose the voters of PBBM. So Imee has to befriend both Duterte and PBBM, so she can get the voters of both. Di ba “mautak si Imee”.. utakan lang yan.. MARCOS yata yan..
Good luck to both of them sana mapa baba Ang presyo Ng nga bilihin Lalo na 69 days before Christmas2024. Ang bugas sana 21/per kilo meron para sa mga mahihirap My political will Siya at e Wala Nayan confi funds Nayan. Stay healthy. Godbless Philippines.
Me and family are Duterte supporters, I am the head of the family. Come election day, I will need to evaluate our choices… I will shun away from pro China candidates likewise those who dishonor the Almighty God,… This is non negotiable.
Its the fault of DIGONG DUTERTE why all this happened now he is facing EJK investigation and all witnesses pointed to him that he masterminded all of the killing with reward system.
UNITEAM is a good team until DIGONG publicly smeared campaign against the president that resulted VP to be affected with the tirade of her Father. As for the misused of confidential fund it is not the fault of the president but it is all the fault of VP SARA DUTERTE.
IMEE’s distancing of the issues between her brother and friend Sara is understandable not a political in nature but it may affect her if she will allaign herself to any of them she better be neutral to stay out the issues.
