Imee Marcos denies family rift with President Ferdinand Jr.

Senator Imee Marcos addressed rumors of a rift with her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during an interview on Friday, February 15.

Marcos emphasized that she and the president are not at odds despite their differing stances on certain policies, stating 'He is still my brother, but there's no trouble within our family. The real issue comes from those surrounding both sides.'

Despite previous speculation about a family divide, Senator Marcos remains part of the administration coalition ticket for the Senate race, though she initially decided to run as an independent candidate.

The senator stressed her priorities including poverty alleviation, job generation, fighting inflation, and benefits for marginalized groups, urging unity to address these issues.

Pulse Asia's latest survey shows Imee Marcos among the 'winnable' candidates in the upcoming election, placing her within a statistically probable chance of securing a seat.

Ilocos Norte, where both Senator Marcos and President Marcos have held governorship positions, remains a strong base of support for the Marcos family.

Despite running as an independent candidate, Imee attended the first two campaign rallies of the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate.
