Philippines Cabinet Reshuffle 2025: Marcos Seeks 'Bold Reset' Amid Political Rift with Duterte

In a decisive move to recalibrate his administration, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has requested the courtesy resignations of all cabinet secretaries. This action, described by the Palace as a "bold reset," comes in response to the administration's underwhelming performance in the recent midterm elections. The elections saw opposition parties gaining significant ground, with allies of Vice President Sara Duterte and former President Rodrigo Duterte securing five of the twelve contested Senate seats.

The President emphasized the need for a government that delivers tangible results and responds effectively to public concerns, such as inflation and crime.   This political shake-up also underscores the gro...

Ayon sa ulat ng GMA Integrated News , nagawa pang makahingi ng tulong ang biktima sa pamamagitan ng kanilang family group chat. “Hinila niya po ako. Tapos pumasok po kami doon sa hotel kasi manghihingi po sana ako ng tulong kaso natatakot po ako sa kaniya,” salaysay ng biktima. Sa imbestigasyon ng barangay, sinabi ng cashier ng hotel na ipinakilalang kasintahan umano ng dalagita ang tricycle driver—isang pahayag na mariing itinanggi ng biktima. “Pilit itinatanggi na hindi niya kilala ‘yung taong ‘yun. Kaya nagtaka talaga ‘yung cashier… Noong hindi tinanggap ang bayad, sinabi ng cashier na ‘Kapag magpipilit ka, sir, tatawag ako ng barangay,’” pahayag ni Rodila Juliano, Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) officer ng Brgy. Mambugan. Pagkarinig na tatawagan ang barangay, mabilis na tumakas ang lalak...
