Marcos vows to `give it his all’ in last years of his term
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. vowed to give his all in the remaining three years of his term during his fourth State of the Nation Address.
He highlighted the country's good economic standing, noting high business confidence, reduced inflation, and increased employment.
However, Marcos stated that these economic gains are "merely decorative" and "meaningless" if Filipinos continue to struggle daily.
He committed to intensifying government efforts to generate more employment opportunities, specifically mentioning the DOLE, DTI, DSWD, and DOT in finding ways for the remaining unemployed.
The President also affirmed the government's plan to provide capital for entrepreneurs and free training to help them start small businesses or microenterprises.
