Undeniably, the political arena is currently filled with a lot of huge issues ahead of the 2025 Midterm Elections. The Filipino populace was shocked by the division between the Dutertes and the Marcoses which are two (2) of the most powerful political clans in the country.
Pres. Bongbong Marcos and Vice Pres. Sara Duterte made a great tandem that snatched double victories during the 2022 Elections. However, since the Vice President left the helm of the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Marcos cabinet, the BBM-Sara supporters saw tirades from the VP to the Chief Executive.
Currently, Pres. Bongbong Marcos is earning criticisms over the arrest of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte. He was arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) last March 11. On the same day, he was flown out of the country for the transfer of his custody to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Sen. Bato dela Rosa claimed that Duterte’s arrest is a “betrayal” by Pres. Marcos. Presidential sister and Sen. Imee Marcos was shocked and could not accept what happened to Duterte. She also skipped the Alyansa Para Sa Pagbabago campaign rally in Tacloban which is led by BBM following the arrest of the former President.
Sen. Marcos is one of the senatorial bets of the grand alliance. The Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) which is the political party of Pres. Bongbong Marcos, the Lakas-CMD, the National Unity Party (NUP), the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), and the Nacionalista Party merged and formed the grand alliance.
Sen. Imee Marcos also skipped the BBM-led Alyansa campaign rally in Cavite. According to her, she wants to focus in the investigation of the arrest of Duterte. She leads the Senate committee investigating the arrest of the former President.
At the Cavite campaign rally of the grand alliance, Pres. Bongbong Marcos did not mention Sen. Imee Marcos. The Chief Executive reportedly talked about all the senatorial bets endorsed by the Alyansa except for his sister. He mentioned Camille Villar who was also absent at the campaign.
Recently, Sen. Imee Marcos was asked about Pres. Bongbong Marcos not mentioning her name at the campaign rally of the Alyansa in Cavite. Based on a report on Inquirer, the Senator brushed it off recalling she was the one who said she’ll focus on investigating the arrest of former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte.
“K lang, tutal sinabi ko na, na ang aking tututukan ay ang pagsisiyasat ng mga pangyayaring labag sa batas noong kinuha si FPRRD,” she said.
Previously, following their absence in the Tacloban campaign rally of the grand alliance, Malacañang spoke on the absence of Sen. Imee Marcos and other ‘Alyansa’bets at the Tacloban Rally.
