STATEMENT OF ATTY. VIC RODRIGUEZ REGARDING THE CIRCULATED PHOTO:

With the footage that leaves so much speculations whether that young lady hugging with Liza Araneta-Marcos might be an admirer or a relative, we would like to clarify that she is one of the supporters of Bongbong Marcos.

Why make it a big deal about it? When you cannot deny from the surveys of all stations that he is still leading in the polls? When that could mean more and more people are joining in his call to UNITE ALL FILIPINOS to rise above the challenges?

To whoever took this photo and make it an issue, we would like to say these two words...

Nice try. Next!

- Atty. Vic Rodriguez, spokesperson of Bongbong Marcos 


This statement was released 15 hours after the picture has gone viral on social media. Although the majority also agreed to the statement and couldn't deny the surveys na parang natanggalan ng tinik ang mga pamilyang Marcos at Manalo kahit papano, hindi rin nila maiiwasan na mag-aalala sila tungkol kay Anna. Lalo na't may mga netizens ang nanghuhula pa rin na baka ang bata na nakasalamuha ni Liza ay ang nawawala nilang anak.

Or much insulting, anak sa labas, born out of wedlock, and so on...

[Imee: Siguraduhin mo na gagawin mo yan, ha?! *slightly raises her voice*]

Bong sighed, after he told his ate everything tungkol sa 'di inaasahan na pagkikita sa pagitan nilang mag-asawa at ng bata, "Don't worry, manang. Titiisin na lang namin ni Liza 'to." he began, "Kahit na... labag man eto sa kalooban namin, we'll do it." dagdag pa neto.

[Imee: Mabuti kung ganun. Oh s'ya! Andami ko pang pipirmahin at gutom na gutom na ako, jusmiyo! *Bongbong laughs from the other line* Mag-ingat pala, ah!] 

"Thank you. Good night din, and take care!" he sat down on the bed as they finished their phone call.

"Is that ate Imee you're talking to?" I turned my head to my wife's direction as she asked me that and I nodded.

"Di pa rin siya nakapaniwala that we've met our daughter after 16 years," I chuckled, remembering her reaction as silence eloped between us.

I tucked myself in at umusog ako palapit kay Liza while I placed my arm on her shoulders with my wife make siksik sa kilikili ko and her one arm on my stomach, "Hon," tawag ko.

"Hmmm?" she asked, humming.

Napaisip ako sa tatanungin ko sana, "H-How did you... met Anna there sa SM?" I asked, anticipating to know about the backstory behind the photo.

She chuckled lightly, "W-Well... it began with just one puppy."

'Wait. What?' I thought, with my brows furrowed, "A-Ano ibig mong sabihin?" tanong ko for clarifications.
