Marcos to China: Stop West PH Sea provocations, I'll return US Typhon Missiles
China should stop aggressive behaviors in the West Philippine Sea if it wants the Philippines to return the US Typhon missile deployed in Luzon, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said.
The president told reporters in an ambush interview in Cebu City that he does not want to comment on the missile system because China has bigger and more powerful counterparts.
'Let's make a deal with China – stop claiming our territory, stop harassing our fishermen and let them have a living, stop ramming our boats, stop water-cannoning our people, stop firing lasers at us, and stop your aggressive and coercive behavior, and I'll return the Typhon missiles,' he said.
'Tigil nila yung ginagawa nila, ibabalik ko lahat 'yan,' Marcos said.
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez said in an interview with NewsWatch Plus that no other country can dictate what the Philippines can or cannot do when it comes to upgrading its military capacities.

Marcos calls for unity, compassion on Eid'l Adha
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called on Filipinos to embrace unity, compassion, and spiritual reflection as the country joins Muslim communities in observing Eid'l Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice. 'I join our Muslim communities in commemorating Eid'l Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice,' Marcos said in his official message. Underscoring the deeper meaning of the occasion, Marcos said, 'This sacred day calls us to remember that devotion reveals itself when we are asked to release what we once believed we could never give.' He reflected on the enduring story of the Prophet Ibrahim, describing it as a reminder of the difficult moral crossroads faced by individuals and communities alike. 'The story of Prophet Ibrahim endures because it leads us to the edge, to that thin border between obedience and resistance, where the soul must decide what truly matters,' said Marcos. Marcos emphasized that the message of Eid'l Adha transcends religious ritual, urging Filipinos to engage in introspection and a renewed sense of public service. 'Eid'l Adha invites us to embark on a more difficult journey—not towards a place, but towards a state of heart,' he added. With the celebration coinciding with the culmination of the Hajj pilgrimage, Marcos encouraged all citizens to ask what kind of offering truly builds a better nation. 'The measure is not in how much is given, but in what is restored: the dignity where there was dismissal, fairness where there was neglect, and compassion where there was indifference.' 'May the spirit of this sacred remembrance inspire Filipinos of all faiths to respond to what our times ask of us, and to leave behind not only victory but renewal. In doing so, we affirm that sacrifice, at its best, does not vanish but uplifts, and leaves something stronger,' said Marcos.

Marcos orders thorough review of P200 wage hike proposal's economic impact
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has directed a comprehensive review of the economic ramifications of the proposed ₱200 daily wage increase, according to Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro. The wage hike, recently passed by the House of Representatives under House Bill 11376, aims to raise the minimum wage for private-sector workers nationwide. Speaking at a palace briefing, Castro said the President wants to ensure that any wage adjustment will be truly beneficial to Filipino workers and will take into consideration the recommendations of wage boards, which are also creations of Congress. 'This is the President's message: 'We will look at the economic implications and consider the opinions of wage boards,'' Castro said, emphasizing that the administration is committed to what's best for Filipino laborers. Castro also noted that all stakeholder perspectives will be weighed before any decision is made, as the bill is still pending in the Senate. 'It is still under Senate deliberation. The President is committed to reviewing the economic consequences to ensure any move will be fair and beneficial,' she added. Business groups, including the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), have criticized the measure, warning that the increase could have adverse effects on both businesses and workers. ECOP chairman Edgardo Lacson argued that the proposal may be economically harmful and is unlikely to gain final approval, citing the administration's consistent opposition to legislated wage hikes.

Marcos keeps core cabinet team, says performance reviews ongoing
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has opted to retain most of his Cabinet members following a recent round of performance evaluations, indicating his intent to preserve stability and continuity as his administration moves into its second half. In a Malacañang press briefing on Tuesday, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin announced that the President had declined the courtesy resignations of several key officials, ensuring their continued leadership. 'The secretaries whose resignations have been declined need to be announced because there have been many speculations… They have been the victims of intrigues and harassment from many quarters. It's just simple justice to them,' Bersamin stated. Retained cabinet and high-ranking officials: Francisco Tiu-Laurel Jr. – Secretary, Department of Agriculture Conrado Estrella III – Secretary, Department of Agrarian Reform Juan Edgardo 'Sonny' Angara – Secretary, Department of Education Bienvenido Laguesma – Secretary, Department of Labor and Employment Rex Gatchalian – Secretary, Department of Social Welfare and Development Teodoro 'Ted' Herbosa – Secretary, Department of Health Hans Leo Cacdac – Secretary, Department of Migrant Workers Renato Solidum Jr. – Secretary, Department of Science and Technology Christina Frasco – Secretary, Department of Tourism Henry Aguda – Secretary, Department of Information and Communications Technology Vivencio 'Vince' Dizon – Secretary, Department of Transportation Manuel Bonoan – Secretary, Department of Public Works and Highways Other officials who will remain in post: Romando Artes – Chairman, MMDA Romeo Lumagui Jr. – Commissioner, Bureau of Internal Revenue Bienvenido Rubio – Commissioner, Bureau of Customs Sharon Almanza – Treasurer of the Philippines Elaine Masukat – Secretary, Presidential Management Staff Juan Ponce Enrile – Chief Presidential Legal Counsel 'All of them who have been retained, including myself, are expected to give fresh attention to the mandates and show more performance in our respective areas,' Bersamin said. While most top officials were kept in place, the Palace confirmed the acceptance of resignations from several presidential advisers and assistants: Meynardo Sabili – Chairperson, Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor Terence Calatrava – Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Almarim Tillah – Presidential Assistant on Muslim Affairs Menardo Espineli – Presidential Adviser for Special Concerns (terminated) 'The assessments about them is that they did not perform up to par. Let us assume that the President has good reasons, the best reasons, not to continue with their services at this time,' Bersamin explained. President Marcos also appointed veteran lawyer Atty. Francis Edralin Lim as the new Chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Commission, replacing Emilio Aquino, whose term ends on June 5. Lim previously served as President and CEO of the Philippine Stock Exchange and is known for his expertise in corporate and securities law. Addressing speculation about a sweeping overhaul, Bersamin rejected the notion that the review was a purge. 'If you are asking for blood, there will still be blood… but at least for the major departments, wala hong masyadong movement,' he said. Bersamin emphasized that all officials, including those retained, are still subject to high standards and ongoing performance reviews. 'Even if you have been retained now, you will still be expected to deliver on your marching orders,' he said. The Executive Secretary added that evaluations are ongoing for undersecretaries and heads of government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs), with announcements expected in the coming months. 'The performance evaluation is a continuing process. You can be sure that at any time, anyone who is not performing according to standards of the President will be replaced or relocated.'
