– “You may swear to the 1987 constitution if you win, a departure from your father’s 1973 Constitution. Mag charter change ka ba?
– “Are you a dictator?
– “Will your wife Lisa be anything like Imelda Marcos?
– “Was history revised because of your trolls?
– “How much like your father’s presidency will your presidency be if you win?
– “Are you disqualifiable? Handa ka na kapag nanalo ka posible parin you are disqualified and Sara Duterte assumes presidency?
– “More than one Marcos in government. Will you support anti-dynasty bills?
– “Drugs. Do you do drugs? What will be your policy on drugs and on corruption?”
Sanchez-Roxas earlier said Marcos Jr. and other presidential candidates will be on #RatedKorina’s Upuan ng Katotohanan.
Other presidential candidates interviewed include Senator Panfilo Lacson, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, Senator Manny Pacquiao, and Vice President Leni Robredo.
Atty. Vic Rodriguez, Marcos’ spokesperson, said the interview with Sanchez-Roxas “is just one of the many activities we have in the full schedule of presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos today.”
The former senator declined to participate in the KBP forum, citing conflict in his schedule.
Lacson, Moreno, Pacquiao, Robredo, and Leody De Guzman graced the KBP forum.
Marcos Jr. also declined to be interviewed by GMA News broadcast journalist Jessica Soho last month.
His camp pointed out that Soho is biased against the Marcos family, a claim that GMA News strongly denied.
