00:00Presidential sister and re-electionist Senator Aimee Marcos pulls out of her brother President
00:06Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s Alianza para sa Bagong Pilipinas, this days after her brother left
00:12her name out during the Alianza campaign rally in Cavite.
00:16Senator Marcos laments how her brother's alter egos and law enforcement officials appeared
00:20to be hiding essential facts and repeatedly invoking executive privilege and sub judice
00:25rule.
00:27Thus, I cannot stand on the same campaign platform as the rest of the Alianza.
00:31I have stated from the outset of the election period, I will continue to maintain my independence.
00:36This is not the first time the Senator withdrew from the Alianza slate.
00:40Alianza campaign manager, Navotas' Representative Toby Tianko, says they respect Aimee's decision
00:45and wishes her luck in the campaign.
00:47The Senator has long tried to straddle being a Marcos while also being a close ally of
00:52the Duterte clan.
