First Lady dismisses agri import racket claims as politics

First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos described allegations linking her to agricultural importation rackets as political "theatrics" and prefers to focus on teaching law.

She emphasized her dedication to her role as a law professor at West Visayas State University, expressing pride in her students' preparedness despite disruptions.

These statements come after former Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co accused the First Lady of intervening in congressional inquiries to protect her brother, Martin Araneta, who was implicated in the 2022 onion price crisis and a 2024 rice price inquiry.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has challenged Co to return to the Philippines to face charges.
