Imee uncertain of spot in brother's Senate slate
Senator Imee Marcos expressed uncertainty about her inclusion in the administration's senatorial slate following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s omission of her in his endorsement speech.
President Marcos Jr. endorsed only 11 senatorial candidates during a campaign rally in Laguna, excluding his older sister, Imee Marcos.
This marks the second consecutive campaign rally where Senator Marcos was not mentioned in the President's endorsement speech, although she and Representative Camille Villar were absent from both events.
Senator Marcos stated that she has not yet spoken with her brother about the omission and currently appears unconcerned.
She emphasized that her focus is on her Senate investigation concerning the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte, viewing it as more critical than election campaigns.
Senator Marcos believes her investigation, which touches upon national sovereignty, is a more pressing and anxiety-inducing matter than political campaigning.
