She also said she is unsure if she would be included in the current administration’s slate for the 2025 midterm polls.

“Nakikita ko ‘yung iba’t-ibang slate, palagay ko magiging singkwenta ang kandidato kasi napakarami po namin. May Lakas, may [Partido Federal ng Pilipinas], marami eh. Napakarami. Kaya nalilito ako, pero tingnan natin. Mahaba-haba pa naman ang panahon,” said Marcos.

(I’ve been seeing various slates. I think the candidates would reach 50 because there are so many of us. There’s Lakas, Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, there’s so many. So many. That’s why I am confused, but we will see. There’s still time.)
