In an interview with ANC&#x27;s headstart, Marcos recalled bumping into Aquino at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Aquino&#x27;s father Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr. was imprisoned and later assassinated during the regime of the outgoing Ilocos Norte governor&#x27;s father, the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos. &quot;Sabi ko, &#x27;Kawawa ka naman ang payat-payat mo.&#x27; Pero actually, inggit ako ang payat niya,&quot; said Marcos in an interview on ANC&#x27;s Headstart.(I told her &#x27;what a pity, you are so thin.&#x27; But actually I envy her because she&#x27;s so thin.)Aquino has been seen noticeably thin on photos on her social media accounts as she is battling &quot;a form of lupus&quot; and has been struggling to gain weight since.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/05/19/kris-aquino-says-she-is-battling-a-form-of-lupus">Kris Aquino says she is battling a ‘form of lupus’</a></li></ul>Marcos also recalled how she and Aquino&#x27;s brother, former President Benigno &quot;Noynoy&quot; Aquino III, were both members of the 11th up to the 13th Congress as representatives of Ilocos Norte and Tarlac, respectively.&quot;Magkasabay kami sa opposition. Konting-konti lang kami,&quot; she said.(We were together in the opposition. There were only a few of us.)Despite Noynoy Aquino&#x27;s critical stance towards her father&#x27;s martial law regime, Marcos said that when he was president, he would respond to her text messages whenever she needed help in locating then Interior Secretary Mar Roxas during calamities. &quot;Hindi ko alam kung bingi ako o manhid ako parang hindi ko na rin napapansin kasi &#x27;pag may bagyo naman tinutulungan ako, tinetext ko &#x27;yun pag hindi ko mahanap si Sec. Mar, sasagot naman kaagad,&quot; she said.(I don&#x27;t know if I&#x27;m deaf or numb, I don&#x27;t notice it anymore but whenever there&#x27;s a typhoon, he helps, I text him whenever I couldn&#x27;t find Sec. Mar, he would respond.)Marcos added that it was natural for things to become nastier during elections.&quot;But I don&#x27;t take these things personally. At the end of the day, there have been so many elections. Sabi ko nga sa mga bashers, haters naku h&#x27;wag kayong matakot sa akin dahil hindi ako mapaghiganti (As I told bashers, haters, don&#x27;t be scared of me because I am not vengeful),&quot; she said.
