WATCH: Palace: Marcos won't interfere in plunder case vs Marcoleta

Malacañang on Friday (Saturday in Manila) says that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. would not interfere in the plunder charges filed against Sen. Rodante Marcoleta by the Office of the Ombudsman, saying the executive branch respects the principle of separation of powers.
