Baste on Imee: I don't like the Marcoses anymore

Incoming Davao City Vice Mayor Sebastian Duterte has lukewarm feelings about Sen. Imee Marcos, particularly about her statement that she can bring his father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, home.

"I don't like the Marcoses anymore. Imee, I can be casual with her. I can treat her as a friend, but let us not talk about politics as we are not together on that," Sebastian said in a chance interview after visiting his father in The Hague.

Marcos, who was also in The Hague during the birthday weekend celebration of Vice President Sara Duterte, was denied entry into Scheveningen Prison because she is neither a relative nor a lawyer of the detained ex-leader.

"She already returned (to the Philippines), so it is not true (that she will bring back former president Duterte)," Sebastian said.

"Whatever it is, if Madam Imee went here, that's enough (that) she is supporting. Politics is different," he added.

According to Sebastian, the former president had lost weight when he visited him.

"He became thinner so I am affected," he said.
