Imee Marcos says to 'stand alone’ in 2025 senatorial polls
Senator Imee Marcos announced her decision to "stand alone" in the 2025 midterm elections, skipping her brother President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s official senatorial slate, Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas 2025.
She expressed gratitude to the President for defending her and including her in the slate, despite alleged "anger and extreme cruelty of some."
Marcos stated her choice to run independently was to avoid putting her younger sibling in a difficult position and to allow her friends to act without hesitation.
She is taking inspiration from their father, former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., whose 35th death anniversary was observed.
Marcos cited her father's legacy of allegiance solely to the Filipino people.
