PBBM voiced his concern regarding the condition of his sister, Sen. Imee Marcos, following her recent statements disclosed in a religious rally in Manila (Nov. 17). Those statements include the allegations against the President concerning illegal drug use.

During a press briefing held in Malacañang, President Marcos Jr. said that their family and friends have been worried about the senator.

"For a while now, we've been very worried about my sister. When I say we, I'm talking about friends and family. And the reason that is... because the lady that you see, talking on TV, is not my sister. That view is shared by our cousins, our friends. Hindi siya 'yan. So that's why we are worried, so we are very worried about her.  I hope she gets... I hope she feels better soon," he said

He further indicated that Sen. Imee is markedly different from the person they used to know. However, after the press briefing, Sen. Imee posted a statement on her official Facebook page, directly addressing the president:

“Bongbong, ako ‘to, kung ano ano na nakikita mo ading. Patunayan mong mali ako - gusto kong mali ako”.

[“Bongbong, it’s me. Seems like you’re seeing random things, my brother. Prove me wrong - I want to be wrong.”]

When asked about their relationship, President Marcos Jr. admitted that they are no longer talking, mentioning different political alignments and paths they have taken both in and out of politics.
