The senator said her brother was focused on removing the vice-president from office than tackling livelihood issues

“It’s been wasted on this insane and wicked campaign against the Dutertes,” she said in an interview from her family’s ancestral home in Manila on Wednesday, as a painting of her mother Imelda and late dictator father Ferdinand Marcos Snr hung behind her. “Stagflation is around the corner. It’s a very scary moment for Filipinos.”

Imee, who said she has a “non-existent” relationship with her brother and last spoke with him at her son’s birthday three years ago, is among 13 lawmakers from the 24-member chamber allied with the vice-president. Duterte will be tried in the Senate in a trial that is set to start in July.

Imee, 70, said she would prefer that only evidence pertinent to the case be presented and hopes everything can wrap up by September.
