Recently, amid the flood control issue in the Philippines, Pres. Bongbong Marcos expressed his hope for the continuity of the supposed structural reforms that were started under his watch. Based on a report on GMA News, he hopes that they will be institutionalized for the benefit of the people.
“My hope and the reason the structural change is important is because kahit wala na ako rito, sana ‘yung mga pagbabagong nasimulan namin o na tumatakbo na, magtuloy-tuloy na para hindi na matanggal,” the President said.
Amid his hope for the continuity of the structural reforms that were initiated by the current government, based on the report, Pres.
