Palace: PBBM focused on governance, too early for 2028 talks

It is still too early to discuss the 2028 elections, as President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. remains focused on addressing national challenges, Malacañang said.

Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro said the President is prioritizing urgent issues, including global tensions affecting fuel and commodity prices.

“Sa ngayon sa paningin ng Pangulo ay napakaaga pang pag-usapan kung sino ang tatakbo sa pagkapangulo sa susunod na eleksyon,” Castro said.

“Tutok ang Pangulo sa pagtatrabaho… Hindi focus ng Pangulo ang pulitika sa ngayon. Trabaho muna,” she added.

She said Marcos Jr. is also monitoring the Middle East conflict between the US and Iran, which has affected oil prices and supply.

On Monday, the President led a rice distribution in Roxas City, Capiz, where 500 beneficiaries received 10 kilos of rice each.

He also presided over the mass oath-taking of over 8,000 newly promoted teachers and school heads from Western Visayas under the Expanded Career Progression System.IMT
