President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has expressed openness to reconciling with the Duterte family following a political rift.

San Juan City Rep. Ysabel Zamora, part of the prosecution team for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, hailed the President's move as expected from a dignified person.

Zamora noted that support for the impeachment did not negatively impact re-election bids of congressmen.

Marcos has stated he will not interfere in the impeachment trial of the Vice President, which has reached the Senate.

The relationship between Marcos Jr. and the Dutertes had previously soured amid investigations into the use of intelligence and confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education.

Vice President Sara Duterte resigned from Lakas-CMD, the political party of House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, in May 2023.
