Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said he calls Senator Grace Poe Llamanzares “sis”, and, in return, she calls him “kuya”.

Marcos was reacting to rumors that Poe Llamanzares, adopted daughter of the late action movie legend, Fernando Poe Jr,that her biological father was the late President Ferdinand Marcos.

I don’t know where it came from, and why it became a “tsismis (gossip)” Marcos, who arrived yesterday in Negros Occidental for dialogs with local executives and representatives of various sectors of society, said.

But he said that he and Senator Poe-Llamanzares take the matter in jest, and jokingly call each other as “sis” and kuya.”

In a television interview, Poe-Llamanzares, denied that she is an illegitimate child of Marcos.

Senator Marcos dismissed it as a plain “tsismis”, and he feels bad about it for Senator Poe-Llamanzares, who is a woman. It may be okay for me, but not for her, he said.

FUTURE POLITICAL PLANS

Marcos said it is only in the media that he is running for president in 2016. Right now, I am only thinking of re-election to the Senate, he said.

We are too busy with so many things. It is too early for politicking, he said.* GPB
