MANDAUE CITY — Senator Imee Marcos dismissed as false rumors that her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., had died. She however said he has been dealing with health issues and has been going in and out of the hospital.
She urged Malacañang to release a certified medical bulletin, stressing the public’s right to accurate information, and called on the President to focus on his recovery.
“I’m very, very sad that he’s not being taken care of, and he’s not watching out for himself. I wish he does. There’s so much work. This is a crisis, and people need very trustworthy and determined leadership,” the senator said.
Malacañang last month said that the President is in good health. To squelch social media reports that he is sick, Marcos jogged and performed jumping jacks on his way to a media event at the Palace on April 13. At the “Biyayang Bigas sa Marnila” program on April 16, the president helped in the distribution by carrying a bag of rice, to the amusement of Mayor Isko Moreno.
