Marcos: Mom Imelda slated to leave hospital on Thursday

BERLIN—Former First Lady Imelda Marcos is scheduled to leave from the hospital on Thursday, President Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said.

At a news briefing with members of the Philippine media here, Marcos said his mother is getting better. 

“Pagaling na nang pagaling. Today is…ah lalabas na siguro siya sa ospital. She’s scheduled to come out, I think, on Thursday. Ang nangyari kagaya ng bulletin na inilabas namin na although she was feeling better already wala na ‘yung…nagbabawas na talaga yung lagnat niya, by now wala na, ‘yung mga doktor nag decide maiwan muna siya sa ospital habang binibigyan pa siya ng antibiotics,” Marcos said. 

“Hanggang matapos ‘yung of course antibiotics. So sabi nila sa akin when I last spoke to them was Thursday,” Marcos added. 

The President said the former first lady is in good spirits. Marcos said his mother wants to go to other places already. 

“She’s – the usual na good sign. Gusto nang umuwi, nirereklamo ‘yung pagkain sa ospital, gusto nang – marami nang gustong puntahan, marami nang gusto…” he said. 

“So kilala niyo naman ang mother ko. Ang pinakamahirap sa kaniya ‘yung walang ginagawa. Medyo ‘yun nandun na tayo ngayon and as I said that’s a good sign so I look forward to seeing her when we get back, back on her feet and out of the hospital,” he added. —NB, GMA Integrated News
