Senator Imee Marcos accused her brother, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., of long-term drug use during an Iglesia ni Cristo anti-corruption rally, claiming his addiction worsened after marrying First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos. She said she had known about his struggles for years and regretted encouraging the marriage.
