Pinangunahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang unang Cabinet meeting ng kanyang administrasyon ngayong Martes, Hulyo 5.

Nakaiskedyul ang pulong ng mga gabinete ng alas-9:00 ng umaga, kabilang na si Vice President at Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte na siyang nag-lead ng pambungan na panalangin.

Sa kanyang remarks, ipinahayag ni Pangulong Marcos na ipababatid ng kanyang economic team ang kasalukuyang estado ng ekomoniya ng bansa.

“I ask the what we call the economics group, which is the Secretary of Finance, the BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) Governor, and the NEDA (National Economic and Development Authority) to give us a briefing on the general situation economically because I think we can all understand that the most important area that we will have to deal with would have to be the economy,” saad ni P-BBM.

“The central policy actually that everybody else would be following will be that set out by our economic managers. So I ask the economic team to give us a briefing,” dagdag ng Pangulo.

Sa isang Facebook post, sinabi ni Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Erwin Tulfo na dinismis na ng Pangulo ang ideya ng pagbabawas ng mga government personnel upang makatipid ng pondo sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemic.

“We don’t want anyone out of [a] job at this point,” sabi ni Pangulong Marcos na iki-quote ni Tulfo.

“[The President has been] carrying on the discussion extremely well,” wika naman ni Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra.

“He is knowledgeable, organized, and very sharp,” pahayag pa ni Guevarra sa mga reporters.
