PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has returned to Malacañan Palace after spending the night under precautionary medical observation due to discomfort, and Malacañang said the President’s condition is stable and he continues to perform his duties.
“The President spent the night under medical observation as a precautionary measure after experiencing discomfort. His doctors advised rest and monitoring, and his condition remains stable,” Malacañang said in a statement on Thursday.
“The President continued to carry out his responsibilities while under medical observation and has returned to Malacañang,” the Palace statement added.
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said President Marcos has been working tirelessly through the night and likely experienced fatigue, but the doctor said the President was fine and in good health and will resume work shortly.
Castro added that there is no cause for concern, assuring the public that the President remains fully capable of performing his duties and will continue with his scheduled activities.
In fact, the President has resumed coordinating with key officials through a series of private meetings and has upcoming public engagements.
“Ang importante rito at dapat natin maipaalam sa ating mga kababayan na siya po ngayon ay muling nagtatrabaho at nasa Malacañang. Siya ay nasa maayos na kalagayan at mamayang hapon ay magkakaroon pa siya ng dalawang pribadong meetings,” Castro said during the regular Palace press briefing.
