Liza said her mother-in-law, former first lady Imelda Marcos once asked her why she was not inviting Imee to their lunch. Liza was reacting to videos that circulated online showing her snubbing Sara. The icy encounter between the two was captured during Marcos’ departure ceremony for Vietnam in January.
“Actually, at the beginning, because I was private, I was hurt. But the lie became more and more stupid, right? It’s like, oh my God, what are you doing? Have pity on yourself?” the First Lady said. “It seems inappropriate for a Vice President, who campaigned under the same party as the President, to participate in such events and react with amusement to the attacks,” Benitez and Treñas stressed.
