Imee admits Sara endorsement a big boost to campaign
Sen. Imee Marcos tells Cebu media on April 15, 2025 that Vice President Sara Duterte decided to endorse her and chose 'itim' or 'black' as the campaign theme. Marcos said she agreed to the theme, as it reflected the country’s current situation. She said the endorsement was expected to boost her waning reelection bid, having been out of the 'Magic 12' in almost all surveys.

00:00Weird ako talaga sa black, pero tinagpilitan ni Inday Sarayas, sabi ni Bibi, yan ang idea niya, sabi ko, bakit black?
00:09Naku, hindi ako nagbabla kahit kailan, I'm a red girl, I don't understand what black is, I'm very aware black.
00:16Sabi niya, itimang kulay ng ating bansa ngayon, lahat malungkot, naghihirap, nagluluksan, bakit tayo magpupulit na dekolor tayo ngayon?
00:28Ayun, gusto niya, lugsak talaga, sabi ko, wait naman, sino po boto sa atin niya, itong politikal ang ito, nakakalungkot.
00:37Dito mga, I'm not able to express my thanks and the great honor she's endowed upon me for endorsing me.
00:47It's truth be told, I think both of us forgot about the election almost entirely.
00:51And following the extraordinary rendition of President Duterte to The Hague, I think like many of our countrymen, we were quite traumatized.
01:07In my case, it felt like a repeat of a nightmare that occurred and I saw only my father being taken to Hawaii.
01:17Kaya medyo masaman loob ko noon at hindi ko na naisip yung kampanya.
01:22Pero ang sabi ni Senator Robin, pati ni Vice President, ang sabi na, ang utos daw ni former President Duterte,
01:31e umuwi na kayo at mangampanya.
01:34Kaya biglang na ngampanya at biglaan lang naman yung ad na yun.
01:38Naalala namin, kasi ako nakatutok sa hearing, nakatutok sa budget, nakatutok sa kunsaan-saan.
01:45Abay, sabi nga, eh, hey, mampanya na tayo at biglaan kami nag-taping the following day.
01:54Strangely, at least to me, the Vice President said that it has to be black.
01:59Sabi ko, what kind of political ad is in black?
02:04What are we going to do? Why black?
02:06Because black is the color of the country today.
02:10And I suppose she's right.
02:12And as a result, we shot the entire thing dressed in black,
02:17which I thought was rather grim, but at the same time, it's entirely appropriate.
02:22So, that's what happened.
02:23Itim.
02:24Ipaglaban ang tama, itama ang mali.
02:27Sir, itong pag-indulso ni VP Sara sa inyo,
02:32paano itong mapapalakas ang pag-chice na manalo kayo sa darating na eleksyo?
02:40Well, alam naman natin talagang pinakitinggan ang ating Vice President,
02:45lalo na andito tayo sa Cebu, sa Mindanao.
02:48Malaking bagay talaga itong malaking tulong.
02:51Pero hindi naman yun ang inisip ko.
02:53So, talaga nga, natutuwa lang ako kasi hindi nagmamaliw ang aming pagiging kaibigan.
02:58Sabi ko nga, kami naman ang magkaibigan nagumpisa dahil sa 2019 siya ng kampanya para sa amin.
03:04Halos araw-araw, nangangkampanya kami sa lahat magkasuluk-sulukan.
03:08And it went on, even as DepEd Secretary,
03:11We ended up going to a lot of last mile schools and I was full of admiration for her commitment and hard work.
03:21Thereafter, ang palagay ko, ako nagpahamak sa kanya eh.
03:28Kasi riniklut ko nga, hindi ko na makakalain na magkakaganito.
03:32And, ah, kahit ano pa ang nangyari, hindi naman siya nagpapago.
03:36Na napiling pa rin siya ang pagiging ko.
03:38At kilala naman niya ako.
03:40Kilala ko rin siya.
03:41Kilala namin ang isa't isa.
03:43Hindi ko siya bibiguin.
03:44Hindi rin niya ako kailanman binibigo.
03:47At nagpapasalamat ako lagi.
03:48Hindi rin niya ako kailanman binibigo.
04:18Hindi rin niya ako kailanman binibigo.
