MANILA – Sandro Marcos, son of vice presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., took to social media to apologize to Kapamilya actor Enchong Dee.

This after a Twitter user pretending to be Sandro told Dee that “A gay will always be a gay,” in reaction to the actor’s statement that “A Marcos will and always be a Marcos.”

Dee’s post has since been deleted.

“Hey man, I understand that one of my fake accounts tweeted you, wanted to say I’d never say something like that. Apologies,” Sandro wrote in a Twitter post on Thursday, addressing Dee.

For his part, Dee apologized for what he said about Sandro’s family. “I guess I became too passionate with this election. My bad.”

To which Sandro replied: “Not at all. This election has been so heated, it’s understandable. Thanks for understanding!”

The actor then said that the young Marcos has his respect.

“You got my respect, man. Godspeed to your family,” Dee wrote.

Sandro and Marcos supporters have requested a vote recount after Bongbong was overtaken by his closest rival in the vice presidential race, Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo.

Robredo has denied the cheating allegations claimed by the Marcos camp.

Dee is a vocal supporter of Robredo, who is the administration’s vice presidential candidate.

Sandro’s father, Bongbong, is the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who declared Martial Law in 1972. He was overthrown by a people power revolt in 1986 that swept Corazon Aquino, the mother of outgoing President Benigno Aquino III, into power.
