Less than a day after he became president-elect, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday, May 26, sat down with three select reporters in what was dubbed a press conference.-owned SMNI, the Iglesia ni Cristo-controlled NET25, and GMA News. The owners of SMNI and NET25 endorsed his 2022 presidential run.
Other reporters and newsrooms only became aware of the press conference when it was announced on Marcos’ official Facebook page. It appeared to have been held in his campaign headquarters along EDSA., whom the incoming Marcos administration is set to appoint as the chief of the Presidential Communications Operations Office.The three reporters asked Marcos about his intended Cabinet appointees and his plans to uplift the country’s economy as the pandemic reaches a plateau.
Why did Marcos exclude the rest of the Filipino journalists covering him? Incoming executive secretary Vic Rodriguez said the limited press conference was a result of a request by the three media outlets to have their respective one-on-one interviews as soon as Marcos won. Instead of a three-on-one interview, however, the briefing was structured like a conference moderated by Angeles. SMNI even broadcast the interview live with the title “President-elect Bongbong Marcos Press conference,” complete with graphics that labeled it as a “press conference.”
