Liza posted images of the photoshoot of the First Couple and their children Ilocos Norte 1st district Rep. Sandro Marcos, Joseph Simon and William Vincent in her Facebook account yesterday.

"Christmas family shoot with the people I trust most—a few laughs and a lot of love," the First Lady’s caption read.

Members of the President's family have been pulled into the political bickering that stemmed from the flood control scandal that erupted last July.

Marcos has ordered an investigation into the anomaly, which is said to have allowed corrupt officials and contractors to pocket huge sums of state funds through non-existent and substandard flood mitigation structures.
