“Walang exemption basta convicted ka sa Supreme Court (SC), sa korte natin, susundin natin,” Pacquiao said during an event in Pasig.
“Mga ganyang edad… hindi ko siguro sya ihahalo sa kulungan. Separate na lang siguro sya,” he added.
Pacquiao repeatedly said that his government will go after corrupt officials should he win the country’s top post.
Imelda was convicted of seven counts of graft by the Sandiganbayan over financial interests and participation in the management of private foundations in Switzerland.
