00:00The president has not seen eye-to-eye with his elder sister, especially on a number of political issues.

00:06Still, they share a commonality in opting to run as independent candidates,

00:10as the president did many times before,

00:12and her sister, Senator Aimee Marcos, doing as he did of late,

00:15as our Alan Francisco tells us in this story.

00:20President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is fine with his sister, Senator Aimee Marcos,

00:25running as an independent candidate in the midterm elections next year.

00:30Yep, that's fine. I've run as an independent myself many times, so that is her choice.

00:36According to the president, he himself ran as an independent candidate in the past.

00:42I suppose it gives her a little bit more scope and freedom to make her own schedule and campaign

00:49in the way that she would like to do.

00:52However, the president said the administration party remains supportive of his older sister.

00:58As for Senator Aimee Marcos, she considers her decision a sacrifice,

01:03as she wants to serve as a bridge between different camps towards unity.

01:28I don't want to say that I don't want to be a bridge between two rivers.

01:35I don't want to say that because I aspire to be a bridge between all the rivers,

01:46so that we can talk and be united, and in the end, we can do something for our country.

01:53The senator admits their mother, former first lady Imelda Marcos, feels sad about it.

01:59Yes, my mother is sad. She said, why is it like that?

02:03I said, it's better for the family, I think, for the good of all,

02:07so that we can talk to all sectors, so that we have a way to join different sides.

02:15And that's what my father taught, one country, one god. Let's not be divided.

02:22Senator Aimee also dismissed rumors her children and her brother's kids

02:26will compete against each other in May next year.

02:29Oh, nothing like that. Nothing like that.

02:32We never argued. My brother fought.

02:36To be honest, we love Bongbong very much.

02:41Ever since, he's the kindest to us.

02:45And he's a man. He's my sister.

02:48So, we never fought. We never argued.

02:51And it won't happen that our children will compete against each other.

02:55Sandro will be re-elected. Mark will be re-elected.

02:58But the positions of the two are different.

03:00Meanwhile, regarding the question of who will replace DILU Secretary Benu Abalos,

03:05who is running for his Senate seat in the midterm elections, the president responded.

03:10We will let Secretary Abalos change.

03:15I don't want him to feel that we're already pushing him out

03:19since considering his personality, he's done such a good job as DILG.

03:24So, when he will file, we will also announce his replacement.

03:27But sir, how many are on the shortlist?

03:29I'm sorry?

03:30How many are on the shortlist?

03:31Just a few. Just a few.

03:34Just a few. Now, there are two.

03:37Alan Francisco from the National TV Network for a new and better Philippines.
