Pres. Bongbong Marcos Gives Message To Military during Camp Visit in Lucena
BONGBONG MARCOS – The Philippine President motivated the military to remain focused and have clarity of “mission” amid the political noises.
The Philippines is currently faced with several problems which include poverty, hunger, and corruption. However, amid the issues, it is no secret to the Filipino people that Pres. Marcos is having a souring relationship with Vice Pres. Sara Duterte.
The Dutertes have thrown attacks against Marcos Jr. The Vice President previously claimed that Marcos does not know how to be a president and she also seconded the claim of her father that the country is currently running on a “fractured governance”.
Former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte also recently called to the military to protect the Constitution claiming that no one can correct Pres. Bongbong Marcos nor House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Duterte also reiterated his previous claim linking Marcos Jr. to drug use. He asked the military if they will continue to support this alleged kind of president. As for the issues surrounding his daughter, the former President expressed his confidence that Vice Pres. Sara Duterte can handle it.
Recently, Pres. Bongbong Marcos went on a visit to the Southern Luzon Command’s (Solcom) Camp General Guillermo Nakar in Lucena City. Based on a report on Inquirer, without mentioning former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte who made a call to the military, the Chief Executive told the military to stay focused amid the noises.
“Huwag kayong nalilinlang sa mga nangyayari. Let’s stay focused… Basta’t maliwanag sa pag-iisip natin. We have the same mission. I do it for the civilian end, kayo sa military police end. Pero pareho ang mission natin,” Marcos Jr. said.
Based on the report, Pres. Bongbong Marcos also gave an advise to military whenever they are distracted by the noise around. According to him, when that happens, you just have to ask what is your mission and then do it.
Following the statement of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte to the military, Malacañang spoke on the move of Duterte calling him to respect the Constitution and not disobey it. The Palace also said that Duterte must “desist from being as irresponsible as he has become”.
