Manila, Philippines (AP). Ferdinand Marcos Jr., President of the Philippines, asked all his office secretaries on Thursday to resign with a “bold administration reconstruction” after last week’s mid -range elections, where more opposition candidates won important places in the Senate.
Marcos, the son of the 67 -year -old deceased Philippine dictator, overthrown in 1986, won the Presidency in a deeply divided southeast Asian country in 2022. An important political return because he firmly invited national unity. However, his equally popular friend of Vice President Sarah Durtete later emerged from him into the fall of political strife.
According to the US Treaty Agreement and other friendly countries, Marcos has become the most vocal Chinese growing aggression critic in the disputed South China Sea, while disputing many long -term internal issues, including inflation and deferred campaign, the promise of rice, as well as many reports on abductions and other falls.
“This is not a regular business,” Marcos said in a statement in a statement. “People spoke and expects results – not politics, not excuses. We will hear and act.”
Marcos called for “politely abandoning the resignation of all cabinet secretaries from the decisive step to replacing his administration after the results of the last election,” the government said in a statement.
“A request for courtesy’s resignation is intended to give the President an elbow room to evaluate the activities of each department and to determine who will continue to serve in accordance with the percalled priorities of his administration,” the government said.
At least 21 cabinet secretaries led by executive secretary Lucas Bersamin immediately provided resignation or expressed their readiness to do so.
“It is not about personalities – it is about results, reconciliation and urgency,” Marcos said. “Those who introduced and continued to introduce will be recognized. But we cannot afford to be satisfied. Time for comfort zones has ended.”
The government’s service will remain uninterrupted during the transitional period, the government said, adding that “Marca administration shows a new phase – sharper, faster and completely focused on the most pressing needs of the people.”
The allies of five of the 12 Senate disputed during the mid -range elections were won by the Allies of the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands of the Criminal Court in the Netherlands of the Criminal Court. Senior Duterte, a stubborn critic of Marca, was accused of committing crimes for committing humanity for the brutal dealing with drugs he released, who left thousands most of the poor suspects.
Marcos advised senators’ candidates won five seats in the Senate, and two more were won by two liberal Democrats associated with the late president Benigno Aquin III, whose family has long contradicted Marcoses.

In November, she presented these threats at an online press conference, but later announced a vague denial that she wanted the president to be killed.
