President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said his administration has begun conducting a performance review of Cabinet members, signaling potential changes ahead based on the results of the evaluation.
In the premiere episode of his “BBM Podcast” aired Monday, Mr. Marcos said the review is part of a continuing effort to assess government performance and root out inefficiency and corruption, particularly as his administration enters its second half.
“The government is running well, but we’re doing a performance review,” he said.
“We’ll examine why delivery of service is slow at times. What should we do to make it faster? That’s what’s important,” he added.
Asked whether there are Cabinet officials at risk of being removed, Marcos said the ongoing review could lead to firings or legal action, depending on the findings.
“That might happen. It’s part of this performance review we’re conducting. That’s my warning to them,” he said.
“In the past two to three years, as long as we have a validated report, they’re removed. We don’t announce it, but they’re removed. That’s the usual process.”
“You’re the ones running the government, so fix it. Don’t report the problems to us — just get it done… Enough already with the explanations, good statistics, and those fancy presentations. Just get it done,” President Marcos added.
