IMEE ADMITS UNITEAM NO MORE BUT SAYS PBBM, VP SARA STILL BFF

By Junex Doronio

MANILA —  Talking of bizarre contradictions, presidential sister Senator Imee Marcos on Wednesday (31 Jan 2024) admitted that the UniTeam, the party of then-senator Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and then Davao City mayor Sara Duterte during the 2022 elections, has “cracks” but claimed that her younger brother “Bonget” or now popularly known as PBBM and Inday Sara, monicker of the Vice President, are still on good terms.

“Palagay ko ang Uniteam may tama na, may lamat na pagkakaisa. Pero sa palagay ko yung mga principal ‘di naman magulo,” Sen. Marcos said during a press conference.

She hinted that only the sycophants or “sipsip” in Tagalog colloquial — who she did not name — are the ones sowing intrigues and divisiveness.

“Ang magulo ‘yung mga amuyong sa tabi-tabi, yung mga demonyo at ahas sa laylayan dyan sa Palasyo,” the lady senator from Ilocos Norte said.

For her part, VP Duterte, in a post on Facebook on Monday (January 29), said her brother, Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte who dared PBBM to resign, only made the remarks out of “brotherly love coupled with the common sentiment that I do not deserve the despicable treatment that I am receiving from some sectors within the circle of the President.”

Sen. Marcos, however, refused to take sides between PBBM and FPRRD as they accused each other of being drug addicts.

The former president (FPRRD) even challenged PBBM to simultaneously take a drug test in public at the Luneta (Rizal Park in Manila) at a press conference on Wednesday (31 Jan 2024) in Davao City.
