Un-Filipino: Lacson on Imee claims at INC rally
Senator Panfilo Lacson criticized Senator Imee Marcos for publicly accusing her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and other members of the First Family of drug use during an anti-corruption rally.
Lacson expressed disappointment, stating that such accusations, whether true or not, should not have been made in front of hundreds of thousands of people at the Luneta.
He described Senator Marcos' actions as "very un-Filipino," emphasizing that family disputes are traditionally resolved within the home.
Lacson suggested that Imee's accusation was politically motivated, given their divergence in the recent presidential slate.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro also denounced the elder Marcos' statement as a "desperate move" via her personal vlog.
