00:00 ABC News program presenter Sarah Ferguson reveals the behind-the-scenes of her March
00:05 4 interview with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., where he was asked about his family's
00:10 plunder.
00:11 Marcos, after a series of stutters, said his family had supposedly signed quit claims,
00:16 giving up claims to assets the government found.
00:18 Ferguson says she had intended the first part of her interview to be about the Philippines'
00:23 relationship with China, while the second part was intended to be about his family's
00:27 scandalous past.
00:28 Ferguson says the Philippine president's staff tried to suppress the interview.
00:32 "From the moment that I mentioned his father, the minders start to talk amongst themselves,
00:37 then they start talking to the producer, trying to get her to shut the interview down."
