President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. moved to reassure the public on Wednesday, saying he’s feeling well, back on the job, and already leading key meetings after a brief health pause.
In a lighthearted video shared on social media, the President said he has fully resumed his official duties, including presiding over the 7th Economic and Development Council (EDC) meeting earlier this week. While doctors advised him to slow down, Marcos admitted he chose to get back to work sooner rather than later.
The clip even showed the President spending some downtime with the family dog, Oreo, adding a relaxed touch to the update.
“Binigyan lang ako ng mga gamot at patuloy pa rin ‘yung aking antibiotics. Pero okay na ako. In fact, nakapag EDC meeting na kami nung Lunes with most of the Cabinet,” Marcos said during a casual conversation with Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro.
“So I’m back in. Pero medyo nagtatampo sa akin yung mga doktor ko kasi sabi nila huwag muna. Sabi ko hindi ko naman pwede pag-antayin muna lahat ng nangyayari. So tinuloy ko na lang,” he added.
The President shared that his schedule is already picking up again. “And tomorrow, I have some meetings in the office. And tuloy-tuloy na.”
Marcos also revealed he has been cleared to eat solid food after spending several days on a liquid diet to give his digestive system time to recover.
“So puro sabaw lang ako. Kaya nanaginip ako nung isang gabi. Sabi ko nga sa doktor, pwede na ba ako kumain ng kung ano ano? Kasi nang naginip ako, nakakain ako ng steak,” he said with a laugh.
“Ngayon pwede na, kanina kumain na ako ng hamburger,” he added.
Thanking the public for their concern, Marcos said the medical care he received helped him quickly return to his normal routine.
“Maraming salamat sa lahat ng tao who have been concerned about my health. At maraming nagpadala ng mga mensahe na gumaling ka na agad,” the President said.
