MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., in his own words, managed to “put together a government which is functional” and that focused on the economy in his first 100 days.
Putting the Philippine economy back on track after years of COVID-19 lockdowns has been the Marcos administration’s key talk points. The proposed 2023 budget, according to his economic managers, is geared towards post-lockdown recovery. “So it is that sense of urgency…. Again, it is that unity that we bring people together and we are bringing it, [bringing] people together for a reason and the reason is not ourselves, it’s not our families, but it’s our community, it’s our country, it’s our people. That, I think, we have returned into government. I think that’s the most important thing,” he said.
The second Marcos president ran in 2022 as the de facto administration and continuity candidate, even if he never got the explicit endorsement of then-president Rodrigo Duterte. Still, his running-mate in 2022 was now-Vice President Sara Duterte, the eldest daughter of the former president.
