Nagpahayag si Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. na ang pagbisita ng Pangulo ng Singapore na si Tharman Shanmugaratnam ay muling makakapagpalalim ng ugnayan ng dalawang bansa dahil ipinapakita nito ang matibay na pagkakaisa sa pagitan ng mga Pinoy at Singaporean.

"Your visit is a testament to the strong bond between our people and each other's countries over the years. As proof of this kinship, I recall we only recently met in Singapore at the end of May, where I had the privilege to deliver the keynote message at the 21st edition of the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue, and here we are once again, two months later, rekindling our personal ties and strengthening our countries," saad ni Marcos.

Samantala, sa kanilang pagpupulong sa 2024 International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Shangri-La Dialogue, sinabi ni Shanmugaratnam na nakikita niya ang umiinit pang ugnayang diplomatiko sa pagitan ng Singapore at 'Pinas sa ilalim ng administrasyong Marcos.

Ikinagalak ng buong Philippine sports world na naging bahagi ng State of the Nation address ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. kahapon ang pagsuporta sa palakasan lalo na ang kampanya ng 28 Filipino athletes sa Paris 22 sa Olympics at 6 na atleta sa Paralympics na magsisimula sa Biyernes sa French capital.

“Thank you, PBBM, for your kind wishes for the athletes at the Olympics,” ayon kay Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino. 

“It’s definitely inspiring and it’s an extreme boost to the morale not only to our athletes competing in Paris, but to the entire Philippine sports,” dagdag ni Tolentino na paroroon sa Paris  ngayong Martes para agapayan ang Philippine Olympic campaign.

“This maybe exaggerated but the President putting emphasis on sports in a very important event in his administration—something that’s never been done by past Presidents in memory— gives us the goose bumps,” dagdag ni Tolentino, bilang POC head ay  personal na mungkahi niya sa  Malacañang, kay President Marcos na ibilang ang sports agenda sa kanyang SONA.

“As we speak, 28 of our finest athletes are competing in Paris now for the glory of the Philippines, drawing appreciation through a rousing clap from his audience. “Let us wish them well and the best of luck.”

It’s not only the Paris Olympics campaign that was in President Marcos’s SONA, but also grassroots sports.

“Grassroots and sports of all programs are back, nailunsad na namin ang Palarong Pambansa after three years na pagkakatigil nito dahil sa pandemya,” aniya. 

Idinagdag ni Pangulong Marcos: “We will continue to support these health enhancing sports programs. 

“We are very grateful to the President for showing his love and concern for sports,” ani Tolentino. “And we, at the POC and Philippine sports as a whole, continuously thank his Administration for relentlessly supporting sports through his financial support.”

Ipinawalang-bisa ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang iminungkahing batas na magre-reorganisa sa Philippine National Police (PNP) dahil sa mga probisyong hindi tugma sa mga patakaran at layunin ng kanyang administrasyon.

“While - this administration recognizes the laudable objectives of the bill, I cannot approve it because the provisions run counter to administrative policy and efficiency,” saad ni Marcos.

Binigyang-diin din ng Presidente na nais niyang masiguro na maghahatid ito ng kinakailangang mga reporma, sumusunod sa mga batas ng civil service, mga patakaran sa standardisasyon ng sahod, at mga schedule ng base pay.

Nilalayon ng panukalang amyendahan ang Republic Act No. 8551, o ang PNP Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998, at ang RA 6975, o ang Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Act of 1990.
