“Ilang taon na si Imelda, bigyan na lang natin ng ano siguro ‘yan. Kumbaga mga ganyang edad, parang precious na sa atin ‘yan na may ganyang tao na umabot sa ganyang edad. Bigyan natin ng pabor ‘yan dahil matanda na rin, napakatanda na. Hindi siguro natin siya ihahalo doon sa mga kulungan, eh ‘di lalo siya namatay. Separate na lang siguro siya,” he said in a separate press conference on Monday.
All court records pertaining to the seven graft cases for which Marcos was convicted have already been turned over to the Supreme Court.Recovery of Marcos ill-gotten wealth Pacquiao said that being an international boxing icon will be an advantage in the Philippines’ battle to recover the ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses.“Kay Manny Pacquiao, I’m sure marami akong kakilala, kilala naman nila siguro ako, ‘pag pumupunta ako sa ibang bansa kilala ako ‘di ba. So ‘yun siguro ‘yung isa sa mga advantage ko na as an international figure rerespetuhin yung request natin at pakiusap natin para hanapin, haluglugin lahat ng mga ‘di ba.
“Unfair sa pamilya naman nila na i-single out sila. Hindi lang mga Marcoses pero pati mga pamilya na nagnanakaw diyan sa gobyerno. Unfair naman na ang mga Marco… tayo kasi, gusto ko kasi fair lang. Hind tayo mamemersonal kasi ang atin dito ‘yung tama ang pinaglalaban natin para sa kapakanan at kaunlaran ng ating bansa,” he said.
