MANILA, Philippines — The camp of presidential hopeful Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. brushed aside fellow aspirant Sen. Manny Pacquiao’s remark that he has a corruption issue.

“Sometimes there are statements that are better left ignored,” Vic Rodriguez, spokesperson on Marcos Jr, said in a statement on Saturday.

Pacquiao alleged that Marcos and Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso had “a corruption issue” in a one-on-one interview with presidential aspirants hosted by Boy Abunda on Friday.
