Sandro Fires Back Hard As Imee Floats DNA Test For The Family
FILE
The long-simmering tension inside the Marcos family has finally erupted in public — and it’s no longer just political drama. It’s personal, explosive, and now involves a DNA test challenge.
Senator Imee Marcos shocked supporters after hinting that her nephew, House Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos, was fueling rumors that she is not a “true sibling” within the Marcos clan.
In a fiery message, Imee declared:
“Gustong paingayin ni Sandro ang usap-usapang hindi ako tunay na kapatid.
Isa lang ang solusyon:
Magpapa-DNA test ako — magpa-hair follicle test sila.”
Her statement instantly set social media ablaze, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum and igniting debates about the fracture within one of the most powerful families in the country.
But Sandro Marcos did not stay silent.
In an unusually emotional and sharply worded statement, Sandro said this would be the first and last time he responds to what he described as a wave of disinformation and “a web of lies” allegedly being pushed by his own aunt.
He admitted he once admired Senator Imee for supporting him in his early years in public service — but emphasized that respect has limits.
According to Sandro, Imee’s accusations against President Bongbong Marcos, First Lady Liza Marcos, and even himself are not only untrue but dangerously reckless.
“Sa lahat po ng binanggit ni senadora, walang basehan, walang katotohanan, at walang magandang idudulot sa bayan.”
He added that his cousins — Borgy, Ilocos Norte Vice Gov. Matthew Marcos Manotoc, and Atty. Michael Marcos Keon — can all confirm that the insinuations being thrown at him are false.
What makes this feud even more shocking is Sandro’s revelation that the family had agreed not to drag each other into old issues. For him, seeing his aunt turn these private matters into public controversy feels like a betrayal.
“Nakakalungkot makita na ginagawa niya ito,” Sandro said.
Political observers say this is now beyond internal misunderstanding. The DNA remark, in particular, marks the deepest and most dramatic public rift the Marcos family has aired in decades.
Sandro closed his statement with a plea for stability, urging the public not to be swayed by narratives meant to “destabilize” the administration.
“Panahon ngayon para magtulungan, hindi para magpalaganap ng gulo at destabilisasyon.”
And he ended with the line now echoing across the country:
“Hindi ito asal ng isang tunay na kapatid.”
