President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Tuesday hinted of a
possible re-organization of his Cabinet, exactly one year after
he was elected into office and the one-year appointment ban on
those who ran in the May 2022 elections.
In an interview with the press at the Meruorah Convention
Center in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, Marcos said he has thought
about reorganizing his Cabinet members as he has already
seen who performed well during his first year in office.
“By the end of the first year para maging maliwanag. In a sense
tapos na ‘yung OJT ng lahat ng tao and we have seen who
performs well and who is – will be important to what we are
doing,” Marcos said.
“So yes, there’s really going to be…I don’t know about reshuffle
pero reorganization sa Gabinete,” he added.
The President arrived in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia on Tuesday
afternoon to attend the 42nd ASEAN Summit and Related
Summits from May 9-11.
Marcos recently said he is eyeing to pick additional Cabinet
members from among competent individuals who lost in the
May 2022 general elections, following the end of the one-year
Constitutional ban on Tuesday.
