President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Wednesday said that his administration has managed to find the “best and brightest” officials to help and serve in the government during his first 100 days as president.
Marcos was asked during the President’s Night organized by the Manila Overseas Press Club on what he considered as his accomplishments and things that he could have done differently as he marks his 100th day in office in two days.“And I said, well the first 100 days will be finding the best and the brightest to help and serve in government, I think we have managed to do that.

He also said that they make their officials understand that they are here to govern and to help the country recover amid COVID-19 pandemic. “There will be leaders, there will be followers and we hope to be part of leading — the ones that are leading the effort for peace that we concentrate in the past. In my discussions with the different leaders, we spoke very much of course of the situation here in the Southeast Asia, in Asia in regard to the intensifying non-violent conflict but push and pull between China and the United States over Taiwan,” he said.
“I think we should continue to try and push our member neighbors to present that united front and to move that united front forward so that we can say that ASEAN as a political — geopolitical aggrupation, economic aggrupation, has certainly shown that it has a function to do in the normal scheme of the geopolitics,” he added.
“We want our people to dream, to develop their talents, to explore the beauty of the country and of the world, and most especially, lead meaningful lives, and have in their heart a hope for the future,” he said.
