Imee Marcos addressing media regarding alleged term-sharing agreement involving Bongbong Marcos and former President Rodrigo Duterte

Imee Marcos Breaks Silence on ‘Term Sharing’ Claim: ‘Wag Nilang Ginugulo ang Kwento

January 12, 20263 min read

Sa gitna ng umiinit na usapin sa umano’y “term sharing” deal noong 2021 elections, nagsalita na si Imee Marcos upang linawin ang kanyang panig.

Report

Ayon kay Marcos, malinaw umano ang nangyari noong Oktubre—at taliwas ito sa mga alegasyong lumalabas ngayon.

Mariin niyang itinanggi ang pahayag na nagkaroon umano ng kasunduan sa pagitan nila at ni Rodrigo Duterte kaugnay ng term sharing.

Giit niya, walang ganitong pag-uusap at wala umanong kaalaman si dating Pangulong Duterte sa naturang isyu.

Sa kanyang salaysay, sinabi niyang matapos mag-file ng kandidatura si Bongbong Marcos, ito ay pinatawag ng PDP sa Malacañang.

Ayon pa sa kanya, nagbabala siya noon na maaaring ma-pressure ang kanyang kapatid sa naturang pagpupulong.

Dagdag pa ni Marcos, may mga opsyon umanong inilatag noon—kabilang ang mga posibleng kombinasyon sa pagtakbo sa pagkapangulo at bise presidente—ngunit hindi ito nangangahulugan ng isang pormal na kasunduan.

Context

Ang pahayag ni Marcos ay tugon sa mga kumakalat na alegasyon mula sa umano’y testigong si Ramil Madriaga, na nagsabing mayroong “term sharing” na pinag-usapan noon.

Sa puntong ito, wala pang opisyal na dokumento o ebidensya na nagpapatunay sa nasabing claim.

Commentary

Sa ganitong sitwasyon, dalawang magkaibang bersyon ang lumilitaw:

👉 Isang alegasyon mula sa testigo
👉 Isang pagtanggi mula sa kampo ng mga sangkot

At tulad ng inaasahan—ang katotohanan ay nananatiling sentro ng usapin.

Critical

Para sa publiko, mahalagang tandaan na ang mga ganitong pahayag ay bahagi ng mas malawak na proseso ng imbestigasyon.

Ang mga alegasyon ay kailangang suportahan ng ebidensya, habang ang mga pagtanggi ay sinusuri batay sa consistency at kredibilidad.

Public Pulse

Sa social media, hati ang opinyon:

💬 May naniniwala sa paglilinaw ni Marcos
💬 May nananatiling duda at naghihintay ng patunay
💬 May nagsasabing dapat hayaang umusad ang imbestigasyon

Closing Line

Sa ngayon, nananatiling bukas ang isyu—at tulad ng ibang kontrobersiya, ang tunay na bigat ng katotohanan ay nakasalalay sa ebidensya, hindi sa pahayag lamang.

Lacson Says Imee Marcos Wants to Be Senate “Meow Meow”

Lacson Says Imee Marcos Wants to Be Senate “Meow Meow”

Senator Ping Lacson did not mince words as tensions flared inside the Senate, calling out what he described as deliberate attempts to disrupt the Blue Ribbon Committee’s investigation into the flood control fund controversy.

Lacson Says Imee Marcos Wants to Be Senate “Meow Meow”

In a blunt remark that quickly caught public attention, Lacson said Senator Imee Marcos appeared to want to act as the Senate’s “meow meow”—a pointed jab suggesting persistent noise rather than substance during proceedings. The comment followed a series of criticisms raised against Lacson’s leadership of the committee, including claims that he was limiting discussion and shielding certain personalities from being named.

Lacson rejected these accusations, explaining that time limits and procedural rules exist to ensure fairness among senators and keep hearings focused. He stressed that the goal of the investigation is not political theater but clarity—following documents, sworn testimonies, and budget records tied to alleged irregularities in flood control projects.

The Senate Blue Ribbon chair also questioned the motives behind repeated interruptions and side issues raised during hearings, saying these risk distracting from the real issue: whether public funds meant for flood protection were misused. According to Lacson, investigations should not be derailed by personality clashes or grandstanding.

As the probe continues, the exchange highlights a familiar Senate dynamic—strong personalities, sharp language, and competing narratives. But beneath the sound bites, the process moves on, anchored on evidence rather than theatrics.

Quiet takeaway: Noise may grab headlines, but Senate investigations are decided by records, not remarks.
