President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will return to public engagements this week after several days without official appearances, Malacañang said Wednesday, clarifying there are no security threats against him.
“Busy po ang Pangulo sa mga private meeting sa Palasyo at sa susunod po hanggang Sabado ay marami po siyang gagawin pong paglabas at magkakaroon po siya ng mga events,” Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said in a media briefing.
Asked if the President’s absence was related to security concerns, Castro replied: “Wala po. Sa ngayon po ay wala pong direct threat na nakikita at nararamdaman ang Pangulo at ang gobyerno at nagkataon lamang po siguro na wala pong activities.”
Marcos’ last public appearances were on Saturday, when he announced the return of PHP60 billion to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. and unveiled student beep cards at LRT-2.
