Senator Imee Marcos assured the Duterte clan that they can count on them ‘for life’. The senator made the remark during the inauguration of Vice President-elect Sara Duterte.
“The Dutertes can count on us. Davao can count on us, and Mindanao will always be a priority as it was during my father’s time. Hindi yan magbabago,” Imee said.
“Solid North nga dahil Ilokano kami pero Solid South din dahil kaakibat natin at kaalyado ang mga Duterte habang buhay,” she added.
