She teamed up with Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in the 2022 elections, leading to a significant electoral victory. Tensions have risen between the Marcos and Duterte camps, with Duterte recently criticizing Marcos and others. She also addressed ongoing investigations into alleged fund misuse in her office, denying responsibility for the political tensions.
