At the beginning of her two-hour press briefing, Duterte said that she initially didn’t want to address the remarks Marcos made on October 11. He said then that he was “dismayed to hear that she doesn’t think we are friends. I always thought we were. But maybe I was deceived.” Duterte admitted that she would not listen to Marcos’ speeches during their campaign because he was saying the same things all over again.
“Seven times ‘nya ako pinuntahan. Hindi siya talaga nagsabi sa akin for president. In fact, sinabi niya sa akin, ‘Huwag ka tumakbo as president, nanggaling ako d’yan. Mahirap ‘yan na trabaho,”What changed? A phone call from Senator Imee Marcos in October 2021. Duterte recalled that Imee called her to ask if she would be willing to her brother’s running mate. At that time, she had already decided to seek reelection as mayor of Davao City.
Since leaving the Marcos Cabinet in June, the Vice President has been the focus of a congressional probe into her alleged misuse of funds. Her resignation as education secretary marked the collapse of the formidable “Uniteam” alliance that propelled the Marcos-Duterte tandem to victory in the 2022 elections.
