Malacañang stressed that Marcos Jr.’s term is not yet over and “a lot more will happen”

Recently, presidential sister and Sen. Imee Marcos claimed that flood control charges will allegedly be filed against senators Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva, former Sen. Bong Revilla, and several members of the House of Representatives. However, based on a report on PhilStar, the presidential Sister is “sad” over the supposed non-inclusion of her cousin, former Speaker Martin Romualdez, in the flood control charges.
“It makes me feel sad that only senators are being targeted even if it’s Bonjing and the speaker’s office that were the sources of corruption in flood control,”
Marcos said.

According to Sen. Imee Marcos, her fellow Senators who are accused in the flood control corruption have long prepared their defense. Based on the
report
, the presidential Sister also claimed receiving information that CWS party-list Rep. Edwin Gardiola, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap and ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Edvic Yap will allegedly be included in the flood control charges.
Sen. Imee Marcos also claimed that no direct evidence is allegedly linking senators Mark Villar and Chiz Escudero as well as former senators Grace Poe and Nancy Binay to the alleged ghost and substandard flood control charges.
