The Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo has said that former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. should be held accountable for his late father’s ill-gotten wealth.
“Kung ang anak ay nakikinabang sa kasalanan ng ama, he is as guilty eh. Yung issue ni Marcos corruption, hidden wealth, at pagnanakaw. Pag ikaw nakikinabang sa very act na hinuhusgahan yung tatay mo, kailangan ka rin husgahan,” Robredo said.

When asked if she would hold former First Lady Imelda Marcos accountable for corruption, she said: “Ako sa akin, parati sa akin rule of law, whether si Imelda Marcos yan o kung sino pa man na tao, kung ano ang sinasabi ng batas kailangan sundin.”
