Did President Marcos drop his sister Senator Imee from his slate? He asks the crowd to support his ‘11 candidates.’

LAGUNA, Philippines – The Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial candidates conclude their two-day Calabarzon campaign on Saturday, March 22, without Senator Imee Marcos and Deputy Speaker Camille Villar, who have now skipped three administration coalition sorties in a row.

In his speech in Sta. Rosa, Marcos also interestingly tells the crowd about the number of candidates he has in his slate.

“At huwag nating gawing alyansa lamang nitong 10, 11 na tao, 11 na kandidato na tumatakbong pagkasenador na kasama sa Alyansa, samahan ‘nyo po kami at magkaalyansa rin tayo,” Marcos says.

Alyansa has a full 12-member slate.
