First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos is unfazed about her and her husband's critics, saying their "stupid" remarks do not really affect her.

In an interview with broadcaster Anthony Taberna aired on his YouTube channel Friday past midnight, April 19, the First Lady admitted that at first she was shocked and surprised by the amount of criticisms coming their way but learned to ignore them.

"Bring it on honey, you’re the size of your enemy. You’re not my enemy like I said," she said.

"I will never stoop [down] to that level. I will never stoop [down] to that," she added.

The First Lady believes karma will eventually catch up to the people who are peddling lies about her family.

"Every time they say that they become uglier and uglier. So look at that their face. 'Di ba, tayo cute pa din tayo (Us, we're still cute). What a life. Bring it on. There’s such a thing as karma," she said.

"I don't get pikon (pissed off) in the sense that it's really stupid na (already) what they're doing. They're not even sophisticated, 'di ba (right)?" she added.

However, First Lady Liza drew the line especially when it comes to her kids Sandro, Simon, and Vinny.

"I get pikon (pissed off) when they hurt my sons," she said.

"Like, for example, when [former] president Duterte said, 'Oh, si Sandro Marcos gusto maging (wants to be) Prime Minister,'" she added.

Despite this, the First Lady, who is a lawyer by profession, said she was not interested in pressing charges against the people who constantly attack her family.

"Filing charges is my life. Kung 'yan lang-- eh, 'wag naman. Sayang naman yung panahon ko (But if that's all I'm going to do, then I wish not. It would be a waste of my time). No [I won't file charges]," she said.

"Did my husband ever file [a case] against these people? It has to stop. It has to stop somewhere, eh," she added.

First Lady Liza believes the attacks would eventually cease once they leave Malacañan.

"Siguro (Maybe) in 1,500 days wala na silang (they won't have anything else to say)," she said.

Dropping names

Meanwhile, First Lady Liza specifically named some of their critics and how she felt about them. First, she questioned former Biliran lone district representative Glenn Chong for waiting a long time before accusing them of rigging the elections.

"Nandoon siya noong (He was there during the) counting. He was part of our election team. So why do you wait one year to say we cheated? Eh, nandoon ka, eh. Every meeting nandoon ka (Every meeting you were there)," she said.

"Hayaan mo na siya (I just let him be). I hope he wins for I don't know what— for congressman, or governor, or whatever," she added.

Chong threatened to slap the First Lady during a prayer rally organized in Manila by supporters of embattled Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

First Lady Liza also wondered how another critic, Sass Sasot, had a change of heart after she represented them in a cyberlibel case for free.

"Something happened. We went to court, she made a deal with the other side and took RJ [Nieto] away. Sabi ko (I said), 'Teka muna, medyo makapal 'yan (Hold on, that's a bit shameless). Pro bono, three years, tapos (then) you'll fire our law firm.' 'Di ba?" she said.

"If you're happy that way, there's such a thing as karma. I'm sure after 1,500 days you'll stop talking about me," she added.

In a Facebook post, Sasot belied the First Lady's retelling of the events, saying the latter's law firm was not her counsel in a case against another social media personality in 2017. She likewise claimed that she and Nieto were the ones helping the Marcoses during their electoral protest against Vice President Leni Robredo at the time.

Lastly, First Lady Liza hoped that vlogger Maharlika is happy with what she was getting in exchange for their friendship that started when they met in Ilocos Norte in 1997.

"She (Maharlika) came [to our house]. Video-video. I think Bong was governor pa rin. And then during elections, she was there. Then bigla na lang gumanon (she suddenly flipped)," she said.

"Sabi ko (I said), 'Ha?! Okay. Wow. I hope the money you got is worth the friendship you lost,'" she added,
