President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has called on all Cabinet secretaries to submit their courtesy resignations as part of a sweeping government realignment aimed at sharpening focus on performance and public accountability.
“It’s time to realign government with the people’s expectations,” the President declared. “This is not business as usual. The people have spoken, and they expect results—not politics, not excuses. We hear them, and we will act.”
The move allows President Marcos to reassess each department’s leadership and determine who remains best suited to carry out his administration’s updated priorities.
“This isn’t about personalities—it’s about performance, alignment, and urgency,” he said. “Those who have delivered and continue to deliver will be recognized. But the time for comfort zones is over. We cannot afford complacency.”
The President described this development as a shift from the initial phase of governance to a more decisive, results-oriented strategy. While he acknowledged the commitment of many public officials, he stressed that the country’s evolving needs demand faster execution and a more focused leadership approach.
Government operations will continue without disruption during the evaluation period. Marcos emphasized that stability, continuity, and merit-based leadership will guide the next iteration of his Cabinet.
With this bold directive, the administration enters a new chapter—one that aims to be more agile, efficient, and firmly centered on delivering for the Filipino people.
