MANILA — President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. will not live in Malacañang Palace, where he grew up during his father's 2 decade rule, according to his sister Sen. Imee Marcos.

"Bago pa manalo kapatid ko sinasabi niya 'di siya titira sa Malacañang. Sabi ko, tama naman kasi noong bata kami wala siyang ginawa kundi tumakas nang tumakas ng Palasyo," Imee said in a chance interview Wednesday.

(Before my brother won the elections, he already told me he won't live in the Malacañang. I said that's fine because when we were kids he frequently sneaked out of the Palace.)

The EDSA People Power revolution in 1986 forced the Marcoses out of Malacañang. The family has long sought to rebuild its image and has repeatedly widespread graft and human rights abuses while patriarch Ferdinand Marcos Sr. was in power.

"Ang importante 'yong maahon namin ang pangalan namin, ang apelyido namin, 'yong legacy ng tatay ko mabalikan at tignan nang maigi," said Sen. Marcos.

(What is important now is we lift our name, and for my father's legac to be revisited.)

"'Yong Malacañang... sa totoo lang nanggaling na kami doon. Labis-labis na 'yong paninirahan namin don," she added.

(We already lived there. That's enough.)
