MANILA, Philippines — The camp of presidential aspirant former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is eyeing bets with bailiwicks in Visayas and Mindanao as his vice presidential
This was according to the former senator’s sister, Senator Imee Marcos, who said that her brother is still looking for a running mate.
“Very obvious naman yung preference namin, sinasabing may ‘Solid North,’ mas malakas kami sa norte. Si Bongbong may [National Capital Region] din, malakas din naman kahit paano. Tapos Region 8. Pero medyo takot sa Mindanao, medyo bulag kami doon,” Sen. Marcos said in Teleradyo interview Wednesday.Bongbong-Pacquiao?
Sen. Marcos also said they are considering Pacquiao to be her brother’s running mate should the boxer-turned-politician is willing to slide down to a vice presidential bid.“There’s also the option…we also like the idea, syempre taga-Mindanao din, kung magi-slide naman si Sen. Pacquiao. Taga-Mindanao din ‘yan, super popular din at kaibigan naman natin yan kahit na may pitik pitik lately,” Sen. Marcos said.
“Di na kami balat sibuyas pag medyo may bumibira, alam mo naman sa kasagsagan sa init ng halalan, OK lang,” she added.Marcos family should return their “ill-gotten wealth”Aside from ensuring votes in the South, Sen. Marcos said her brother is looking for a running mate he can get along with well. “Si Bongbong, naghahanap ng ka-tandem na bagay sa kanya, yung kasundo niyang katrabaho kasi kahit papaano di ba dapat may tiwala ka, tapos bagay kayo at nagkakaintindihan kayo ng maigi,” she said.Subscribe to our regional newsletter
