In a plot twist worthy of a teleserye, Senator Imee Marcos—once the ride-or-die of her father’s memory—has apparently ghosted the Marcos legacy faster than you can say “Golden Years.”

After publicly side-eyeing her own brother President Bongbong, Imee seems to be cozying up to VP Sara Duterte like it’s 2028 campaign season already. Political analysts are baffled, but netizens aren’t: “Imee changing surnames? From Marcos to Duterte? Girl, pick a lane!”

Whispers in the Senate say Imee’s even practicing her new signature: “Imee Duterte, DDS Princess.” This, of course, follows Sara Duterte’s “friendly” suggestion that Imee drop the Marcos name—possibly as a new marketing strategy or just family feud fan service.

One thing’s clear: the ghost of Apo Lakay is reportedly spinning in his solid-gold sarcophagus. Betrayal? Maybe. But in Philippine politics, betrayal is just Tuesday of the Holy Week.
