It’s my mother whom he’s friends with. He really knows her. He asked about her, ‘How’s Imelda?’ How is she…so, I said, she sends her regards.”

Marcos also proudly exclaimed that he “reminded the president-elect that Filipinos in America overwhelmingly voted for Trump” — as though that’s something that automatically reflects well on us.
