Senator-elect Imee Marcos, who also had her share of showbiz experience paid her respect to the late veteran actor Eddie Garcia.
Marcos remembered a story about how she met Garcia in Malacanang.
“Na-meet ko siya kasi siya nag direk ng ikalawang sine ng tatay ko. Nandoon lang siya sa isang sulok nagsusulat,” Marcos recalled.
Her father, former President Ferdinand Marcos, took a while before finally meeting Garcia in his office.
“Sir ako po ang gagawa ng sine niyo, naging sundalo po ako. Ito ang sabi ni Direk Eddie nun, simula noon nagkwentuhan na sila ng magkwentuha,” Marcos said.
When asked if she would also lobby for Garcia’s national artist award, Marcos said it has been long overdue.
“Obvious naman sa dami niyang ginawa. Delayed nga lang sorry. Akala natin lagi lang nandiyan si Eddie Garcia,” Marcos said.
