SENATE, Pasay City — Recalling Senator Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios ‘Imee’ Marcos-Manotoc’s ‘history of fostering unity’ during the 2022 elections, fellow Senator Christopher Lawrence ‘Bong’ Go is now appealing to President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.’s elder sister to help in settling the rift between the Marcos and Duterte camps.

The former special adviser of ex-president Rodrigo ‘Rody’ Duterte made the call amidst the growing tensions that has worsened into a bitter feud between President Marcos Jr. and Vice President ‘Inday’ Sara Duterte-Carpio.

Go, a close ally of the Dutertes, opined in an interview that Senator Marcos could have a “potential role as a unifying figure” in patching up the differences between the two political families.

He appealed to Senator Marcos, “as the sister of our president—and she also treats as sister VP Inday Sara Duterte—to possibly mediate for the welfare of every Filipino.”

Go likewise rationalized that “if she was able to form the Uniteam of Marcos and Duterte during the last election, perhaps she can be an instrument for peace and reconciliation.”

“The political bickering between two of the country’s most powerful clans is a waste of time. You were elected to work (for the country). I am appealing for reconciliation so we can all work and serve our fellow Filipinos,” he added.

Senate President pro tempore Jose ‘Jinggoy Estrada’ Ejercito Jr. shared Go’s sentiments, stressing that “perhaps the friendship between Senator Marcos and Vice President Duterte could be a big factor” in ending the feud.
