Hindi totoong idineklara ni Pang. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na special non-working holiday ang Agosto 9, araw ng state funeral ni yumaong dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos, taliwas sa mga kumakalat sa social media. Ayon kay Press Secretary Trixie Angeles, walang inilabas na anumang anunsyo o proklamasyon tungkol dito ang Office of the President at Executive Secretary.

Noong Mayo 31, naglathala ang Philippines News Agency (PNA) ng artikulo na tumalakay sa ulat ng Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU) sa ginanap na Duterte Legacy Summit noong bandang dulo ng termino ng nagdaang administrasyon.

Noong Mayo 15, ang YouTube channel na “Filipino Future” ay gumawa ng post sa kanilang community tab, kung saan sinasabi nila na lahat ng aklat sa kasaysayan sa Pilipinas na inilathala noong administrasyon ni Corazon Aquino ay “mali-mali” dahil umano ang mga “naratibo” ng mga libro ay sa kalakhan, mga paninira sa mga Marcos at pumapabor sa mga Aquino.

During his speech, the president did not elaborate how his administration will improve the welfare of the health workers in the Philippines. Without naming the next health secretary, Marcos instructed the current officer-in-charge Ma. Rosario Vergeire to “look into the issues affecting the benefits of health workers in the country” as health workers urged the current administration to increase the wages of entry-level nurses and other health care workers.

The Philippines posted an 8.3% GDP growth for the first quarter of 2022. However, this GDP growth is the primary effect of election-related spending, and not because of the reopening of the economy, according to IBON Foundation, with the think-tank noting that this growth may not be sustainable in the near future.

During his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. bared his economic goals for his term. What is missing, however, are concrete actions to achieve these goals. Among his goals is the attainment of upper-middle income status by 2024. Despite his positive outlook on the economic growth, the newly-elected president did not specify how his administration will achieve this target.

In his first SONA, Marcos Jr. said, “Isinapinal ng Department of Agriculture ang planong pagtaas ng produksyon sa susunod na pagtanim o planting season sa pamamagitan ng tulong pinansiyal at teknikal. Magbibigay tayo ng pautang habang mas ilalapit natin sa sektor ng agrikultura ang hindi gaanong mahal na farm inputs na bibilhin ng bulto ng gobyerno.” However, this directive to “increase production” is too vague. Marcos failed to explain where the financial help will come from and how this would be distributed to the agriculture sector.

Marcos Jr.’s pronouncement on building more airports runs counter to his move to veto House Bill 7575 or the creation of the Bulacan Airport City Special Economic and Freeport Zone in Taliptip, Bulakan, Bulacan due to “substantial fiscal risks.” Marcos Jr.’s recent statement signals that even with the veto, more airport projects will be pursued in the next few years.

Marcos Jr. said that this new connectivity plan, which will now be called the “Broadband ng Masa” project is set to connect geographically isolated areas in the country. With the recent passing of the Public Service Act (PSA) removing the restriction on foreign investment in overseas players, he claimed that this will translate into better quality, availability, and affordability of telecommunications services all over the country.
