Pres. Bongbong Marcos Tells First Lady Liza Marcos She’s Part of “Cabinet Shakeup”
FIRST LADY LIZA MARCOS – President Bongbong Marcos joked that his wife is the new ambassador for migrant workers following her frequent trip to Europe.
Recently, two (2) members of the Marcos cabinet resigned from their positions amid the corruption allegations against Pres. Bongbong Marcos and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez. The accusation was made by resigned Ako Bicol Partylist Representative Zaldy Co.
In one of the videos he posted on social media, Zaldy Co claimed that Marcos Jr. and Romualdez allegedly received a P56-billion kickback from the projects of the government. His claim came after he accused Marcos Jr. of supposedly ordering a P100 billion budget insertion in the 2025 national fund.
According to Co, he allegedly confirmed the supposed order of Marcos Jr. with then-Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman and then-Executive Sec. Lucas Bersamin. Last November 17, Malacañang announced that Pangandaman and Bersamin resigned from their positions.
The newly-appointed Executive Secretary is former Finance chief Ralph Recto — also a former senator. The recent turn of events ignited the rumors of a Cabinet shakeup. Recently, Pres. Bongbong Marcos mentioned “Cabinet shakeup” in his speech during the 2025 Bagong Bayani Awards.
Speaking at the awarding event, Pres. Bongbong Marcos joked to his wife, First Lady Liza Marcos, that she is part of the “Cabinet shakeup” as per a post of News5 on social media. According to the President, his wife has frequently travelled to Europe to assist the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) with its activities.
“‘Di ba, magka-Cabinet shakeup tayo? So, kasama ka na roon,” Marcos Jr. said.
Both Pres. Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Liza Marcos recently earned criticisms after Senator Imee Marcos accused them of allegedly using illegal drugs. Previously, FL Liza Marcos was also dragged into the issue of flood control corruption in the country.
