Senator and presidential sister Imee Marcos has declared her all-out support to her friend and Vice President Sara Duterte after the latter’s resignation from the Cabinet.
“Paulit-ulit lang naman na anuman ang mangyari, ang aking paniniwala at pagmamahal para kay Vice President Sara ay mananatili. Anumang laban, anumang hakbang, anumang hinaharap ako’y kasama niya,” Marcos told reporters in an interview.

Imee added that she will remain to be a friend to Sara despite reported cracks in the so-called “Uniteam” of the Marcos-Duterte political alliance.
“My trust and confidence in our friendship and in your kindness and integrity remain the same,” Senator Marcos said in Filipino on Wednesday.
“I am with you in every step of the way in this fight for the country,” she added.
Sara said her resignation as Education Secretary will take effect on July 19. She did not mention the reasons why she quit her post but insisted that her decision was for the betterment of the department.
