Recently, Sen. Imee Marcos once again skipped the BBM-led Alyansa campaign rally. She did not attend the campaign sortie of the grand alliance in Cavite. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, she wants to focus on the arrest of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
“Ang mahalaga sa akin ay tutukan ang kaso ng pagtangay sa isang kapwa Pilipino na isinuko ng ating pamahalaan sa isang banyagang institusyon sa ibang bansa. Pagkat sa kabila ng kampanya at pulitika, napakahalaga nito para sa ating mga kababayan,” the Senator said.
Based on the report, Sen. Marcos stressed that the issue is not just about former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Previously, at the hearing, Marcos expressed that Duterte was surrendered like he has no country of his own and the Philippines cannot judge her own people.
