“Ipagyayabang ko na siya ay ulirang maybahay, siya ay isang ina na may tatlong anak na inaalagaan. Isang abugada na laging tumutulong sa lahat. Siya ang ating ‘Iron Lady’,” Marcos said in the said video.

(I will be proud that she is an exemplary housewife, she is a mother with three children in her care. A lawyer who always helps everyone. She is our Iron Lady.)

“Pero sa kabila ng kanyang pagiging matapang ay buong puso naman siyang nagmamahal sa mga Pilipino. Kahit buhay ko, ipagkakatiwala ko sa kanya,” BBM added.
