PCIJ sent an email and a fax to Imee Marcos asking her to comment on the ICIJ findings, but she did not respond to the detailed questions. The day after the PCIJ sent the questions to the governor a person who claimed to be a long-time friend of Imee Marcos called the journalists to inquire about the story. The PCIJ requested that she ask Imee Marcos to respond to the questions or agree to be interviewed. The person called twice more later to say that she would visit the PCIJ office but did not show up at all.
