Marcos pleased that Robredo won't have Cabinet position

DAVAO CITY - Losing vice-presidential candidate Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. on Saturday morning said he is willing to serve as a Cabinet secretary under the administration of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte.

Marcos said he can serve in the Duterte administration after the one-year appointment ban on losing candidates lapses.

"The details have not yet been ironed out. If given a chance, it would be an honor," the outgoing senator said.

Former President Ferdinand Marcos' son said he does not covet a particular Cabinet post, adding that he will "leave that to the President-elect."

"I'm always ready to (help Duterte) in any capacity even if it is just in the form of a friendly advice," outgoing senator said.

He also told reporters that he is pleased with Duterte's earlier announcement that no Cabinet post will be given to Vice President-elect Leni Robredo as it "might hurt Marcos' feelings."

"I thanked him. He has been very kind and very thoughtful (to me). It's nice to see that our friendship is still there," said Marcos, who lost to Robredo in the 2016 vice presidential race.

Duterte met Marcos at the "After Dark" Bar in Davao City on Friday evening. The nearly four-hour long meeting was their first after the 2016 elections.
