Philippine president calls for all Cabinet secretaries to resign after election setbacks

  • Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Requested the resignations of all Cabinet secretaries on Thursday after the May 12 midterm elections.
  • This move followed election results where opposition candidates won key Senate seats, signaling a divided legislature and political challenges for Marcos.
  • A group of at least 21 Cabinet members, with Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin at the forefront, either handed in their resignations immediately or signaled their intention to do so as part of this adjustment process.
  • Marcos said, "This is not about personalities – it’s about performance, alignment, and urgency," emphasizing the administration's focus on results over politics.
  • The administration described the request as a bold reset to realign government priorities and improve service amid declining approval ratings and public dissatisfaction.
