Marcos assessing performance of undersecretaries
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is conducting performance reviews for government undersecretaries and agency personnel following an initial evaluation of Cabinet members.
He clarified that the ongoing assessment is not a Cabinet revamp, but a measure to ensure optimal performance across all government entities.
Marcos Jr. stated that the focus has shifted to lower levels, including undersecretaries and agency officials, after most Cabinet secretaries performed well and retained their positions.
He reiterated that all government employees are "basically all on probation" as part of the rigorous review.
The performance evaluation will closely examine whether targets are being attained on a quarterly basis and will cover all levels of government.
