Marcos urges faith in action, highlights compassion amid dropping approval ratings

President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. urged Filipinos to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ during Good Friday and emphasized the importance of faith, compassion, and forgiveness that have shaped Filipino values.

On Easter Sunday, Marcos called on Filipinos to translate their faith into concrete action through policies that heal, laws that protect, and governance that leaves no one behind.

The President highlighted the need for compassionate solidarity in addressing national challenges, urging citizens to embrace nation-building through public service and civic engagement.

Marcos emphasized that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a mandate to uplift the lives of those who are struggling, encouraging the faithful to embrace active faith that translates into policy and governance.

The Easter message also comes amid a drop in Marcos Jr.'s approval rating from 42 percent in February to 25 percent following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
