Nur-Mahal Kiram currently serves as the national vice president of the Anti-Crime Community Watch.
Kiram is running for senator under the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, the party chaired by the late dictator’s son and namesake Ferdinand Marcos Jr. who is running for the presidency.
She is not, however, part of the official Senate slate of Marcos and his running-mate Sara Duterte, the current president’s daughter.
“Bilang isang prinsesa, bitbit ko ang karangalan ng aking pamilya, ng aking mga ninuno, at maging kinatawan ng lahat ng mga minorya, tribo, at indigenous people sa Senado. Karangalan ko na maging tinig ng bawat isa sa kanila. Kailangan nating baguhin ang maling nakasanayan, bigyan ng pagkakataon at maglingkod ang mga bagong pangalan.”
