Meanwhile, showbiz columnist Lolit Solis took to social media to defend President Bongbong Marcos against those bashing him for using a helicopter to go to the Coldplay concert. It can be recalled that the British rock band held a concert at the sprawling Philippine Arena January 20 and 21. President BBM, along with First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, were among the celebrities who flocked to the arena, though they earned some degree of bashing for using a helicopter to go to the event. According to Manay Lolit, President BBM is doing a lot for the country and deserved a comfortable break, adding that going there using a chopper is befitting of his rank as the country’s leader.

In another social media post in the past, President Marcos, in a vlog published on YouTube, expressed belief that Malacañang Palace is indeed haunted by ghosts. The president then went on to narrate his paranormal experiences while living there as a son of then President Marcos Sr and today as the leader of the Philippines. PBBM shared his hair-raising experience of seeing chairs move by themselves in a guest room he stayed in while waiting for the renovation in his bedroom to be finished. He also talked about walking up the stairs by himself and feeling a strong and heavy presence just behind his back, causing him to alternately walk forward and backward.
