All it took was a smirk for President Marcos to send his message
across after being told of his senator-sister’s allegation of a
no-election scenario in 2028 that he was reportedly hatching along with
minority senators.
“I wanted a no-election scenario?” Marcos
replied with a smirk on Tuesday, May 26, before boarding PR001 for
Tokyo, Japan, when sought for comment on Sen. Imee Marcos’ privilege
speech on Monday, May 25, wherein she accused him of orchestrating
Charter change to prolong his stay in power.

Marcos, standing alongside, smiled at her husband’s reaction. Marcos was
departing for Japan for a four-day state visit.
Malacañang labeled the allegation as a diversionary tactic.
In
a separate interview at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City,
Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said Senator
Marcos’ allegation was apparently intended to divert the public’s
attention from real issues.
