Marcos Jr. all praises for Liza

MANILA, Philippines —  Amid ongoing political noise and flood control projects controversy in the country, President Marcos gamely answered personal questions about his family in a podcast interview.

In the last part of his latest podcast, the President credited First Lady Liza Marcos for her accomplishments in the past three years of his presidency.

Marcos said he was amazed at how his wife worked to “bring back to its old glory” the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City in time for the country’s hosting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit next year.

Asked how many “brownie points” he earned for praising his wife during the recent reopening of the PICC, the President responded laughing, “I hope a lot. I’m going to live off that for as long as I can.”

Marcos described his wife as smart and very effective.

“She just doesn’t let go of something. Once she gets a hold of something and she decides to do it, she actually gets it done. And she’s very effective,” the President said.

Marcos added: “Her legal training serves her well.”
