00:00House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos says the camp of former President Rodrigo Duterte asked for control of key posts in
00:07exchange for endorsing his father, now President Bongbong Marcos, in 2022.
00:12Sandro Marcos says his father was summoned to Malacanang after seeking Duterte's endorsement during the campaign period for the 2022
00:18elections.
00:19He says they were made to sit around and wait in the palace for about two hours before being ushered
00:24into the presidential guesthouse.
00:26Sandro Marcos says Duterte's camp asked, what's your plan and what can you do for us?
00:31Duterte's camp supposedly said they would support the Marcos presidential campaign if they would get to choose who would become
00:37Executive Secretary, House Speaker, Senate President, Cabinet Secretaries, among other demands.
00:43But Rodrigo Duterte himself never endorsed Bongbong Marcos for president.
00:47He even called the dictator's son a weak leader and a spoiled child.
00:51Duterte instead endorsed the presidential bid of his loyal aide, Senator Bongbong, who later withdrew from the race.
00:58Duterte was said to have been dismayed when his daughter, then Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, slid down to run
01:03as Marcos' vice president.
