Bongbong Marcos Reveals What He Does Every Day As Philippine President

What Is The Daily Routine Of Philippine President Bongbong Marcos Jr.?

BONGBONG MARCOS – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. shared what he does every day as Philippine President.

On Saturday, April 1, BBM gave the public a glimpse into his life as the president of the Philippines after a child emailed him asking what he does every day. Despite beginning his day at six in the morning, Bongbong admitted that he typically skips breakfast.

“Talagang ang unang ginagawa ko ay tinitingnan ko ang telepono ko: ano ang bagong message, may nangyari na kailangan bigyan ng atensyon para makita lahat kung anong kailangan gawin sa araw na yun,” said Bongbong.

“Kadalasan ako ay nagfa-fast. Hindi ako kumakain ng almusal. Pagkatapos ko kumain ng gabi, hindi ako kumakain hanggang lunch time na…”

“Nasanay na rin ako sa ganyang routine at aking palagay ay nakakatulong yan sa pampatibay ng katawan,” he added.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said that while at work, he either runs meetings, administers oaths of office, or manages paperwork.

“Tinitingnan namin yung mga accomplishment reports, mga performance audit para makita kung talagang tumatakbo yung ating mga binigay na instruction, kung talagang tumatakbo yung proyekto, mga programang ating sinimulan,” he said.

“Kung nagkakaproblema, ano yung problemang iyon para maayos natin?”

BBM claimed that he must sign 50 to 100 documents daily.

“Hindi yun ang pinakamabigat doon dahil ang iba nangangailangan ng desisyon kaya kailangan pag-aralan.

“Ganiyan kakapal yung folder, kailangan basahin mo lahat para malaman mo lahat at pag-isipan ng mabuti bago pagdesisyunan,” he said.

“Mahilig naman tayo magbasa kaya palagay ko ito ay isa sa mga bagay na mas mabilis kong nagagawa,” BBM said.

According to Bongbong Marcos., meeting diplomats and welcome them to Malacaang take up a significant portion of a president’s time. He said, “Dahil global na nga ang mundo, nagiging mahalaga na matibay ang ating mga relasyon sa ating mga kaibigan na bansa.”

Additionally, he said, there needs to be a specific period set up to record video messages that the Palace would transmit to events that the President could not physically attend.

“Sa isang araw, ang aming tanggapan ay nakakakuha ng mahigit na 30 event invitation. Kahit gusto kong paunlakan ang lahat ng imbitasyon ay talagang hindi maaari. Kahit yan lang ang gagawin ko ay talagang hindi ko na mapupuntahan lahat,” he said.

“Tinitiyak ko na may tinatabing oras para makapag-shoot ng mga video na ito bilang pagpapahalaga sa kanilang mga programa,” he said.

The President occasionally needs to attend events away from Malacañang, he noted, particularly to check on projects, engage with troops, and accept invitations.

“Yung Kadiwa dahil sinisimulan pa lang natin, talagang tinututkan ko na para dumami yan at maramdaman ng marami sa ating mga kababayan na may pagkakataon na bumili ng mga bilihin na hindi kasing mahal kaysa doon sa palengke,” he said.

The Commander-in-Chief emphasized the importance of visiting military bases and troops. “‘Yung mga nasa area na talagang marami ang trabaho, tinitingnan natin na nasa kanila ang lahat ng kanilang pangangailangan,” he said.

One of Bongbong’s favorite recollections from his trip to a military installation was getting to fly in a fighter jet with the Philippine Air Force.

“Sa palagay ko napakasuwerte ko kasi lahat ng mga maliliit na nakapanood ng Top Gun ay naiisip nila na sana sila din. Ganoon din naman tayo,” BBM said, smiling at the memory.

“Suwerte pa rin ang pagiging Pangulo. Nagagawa mo yung mga ganiyang klaseng bagay na napapaginipan mo lang noon,” he said.

Despite the fact that the Philippine President’s official residence is only a 2-minute boat trip from Malacaang, Marcos Jr. claimed that his schedule is still too busy for him to have much free time, especially on the weekends.

“Kadalasan yung Sabado ko ay napupuno pa rin ng mga appointment, ng mga meeting na ako na ang nagseset,” he said.

“Siguro ang pinaka-free time na lang ay Linggo. Ito, family time ito. Magsisimba kami at pagkatapos ng misa ay mayroong kaming kaunting lunch para naman medyo makaiwas ng kaunti sa laging pag-iisip,” he said.

When solving a problem, Bongbong Marcos Jr. shared that he frequently attempts to take a step back and engage in other activities in order to gain a new viewpoint.

“Sa aking palagay, kapag may problema na komplikado, kailangan ang sistema ko, nag-aaral akong mabuti. Pinag aaralan kong lahat tungkol doon sa problemang iyon tapos iiwanan ko, may gagawin akong iba dahil sa experience ko, nangyayari pag iniwanan mo, may ginawa ka munang iba, nawala muna sa isip mo yung problema mo, pag binalikan mo, may bago ka nang naisip,” he said.

“Sa aking palagay ay very effective yung ganun.”

The President claimed that despite his hectic schedule, he often works out.

“Ang lagi kong tinitiyak ay makapunta ako sa gym at makapag work-out.”

“Unang-una, dahil marami kang mabigat na iniisip. Lahat ng nasubukan kong stress reliever, ang pinakamaganda na magpagaang ng stress ng isang tao ay mag-exercise,” he said.

“Kailangan maging matibay ang katawan dahil bawal magkasakit. Babagsak ka ng isang araw, malaking bagay na yun. Maraming mapopostpone, maraming mapapalitan na schedule,” he said.

In addition to getting regular exercise, the President claimed he also keeps an eye on his diet.

“Madali naman para sa amin dahil ang diet naman ng Ilocano ay isda lang atsaka gulay.”

With reference to what his father and namesake did during the patriarch’s own term in Malacañang, BBM said that the busy schedule of a President did not come as a surprise.

“Natutunan ko sa kaniya na kailangan piling-pili ang gagawin mo sa isang araw, sa isang linggo. Kailangan very efficient ang working habits mo. Kailangan walang sayang na oras, wala kang ginagawa na wala namang katuturan o walang kabuluhan…”

“Mahalaga na punong-puno ang schedule para hindi tayo nagsasayang ng panahon. That’s the only commodity that you cannot buy, that you cannot bring back. Kailangan talagang i-maximize yung oras sa isang araw,” he added.
