Senator Imee Marcos expressed her sentiments on the development that the Senate will have an investigation over the recent incident involving Jamela Villanueve, Anthony Jennings and Maris Racal.

This after the screenshot photos posted by Jamela allegedly showed some messages involving illegal drugs. The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) planned to invite the three to shed light on the matter.

For her part, Senator Imee said in a forum:

“Eto nga, talagang kinakailangan, palibhasa’y hinahangaan, nagiging halimbawa ang ating mga artists, ang ating mga celebrities, kinakailangan, they should be held to a higher level of conduct and morality,” said Senator Imee.

“Ang problema kasi, sila ang hinahangaan ng kabataan, sila ang iniidolo, tapos sila pa ang nagkakalat. Wag naman sana. Dapat alagaan din nila yung sarili nila at intindihin na yung imahe nila, yun nga ang pinaninindigan at naniniwala ang mga kabataan,” Senator Imee added.

The lady senator also encouraged government agencies to pursue their investigation and file cases if necessary regarding of their status in society.

“Unang-una, parati kong sinasabihan ang ating law enforcement, ‘wag kayo masisindak kahit artista ‘yan o sikat, imbestigahan ninyo at talagang patawan ng sapat na parusa.” Senator Imee said.
