President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said the recent May 2025 election results show that Filipinos are “tired of politics” and want more actions from their leaders, acknowledging public disappointment over slow government services in addressing immediate, day-to-day needs.
“Ito talagang narealize ko na hindi natin nabigyan nang sapat na attention ‘yung mas maliit na bagay para maging mas maginhawa ang pang araw-araw ng buhay ng tao. Yung mga ganyang klase, para naman mas maginhawa ang buhay ng tao,” the President noted.
In the first episode of BBM Podcast, President Marcos shared his reflections on the recent election results, underscoring the need to shift away from politics and a focus on governance that directly benefits the public.
The President reiterated his resolve to break free from the “business as usual” mentality from the moment he took office.
President Marcos also emphasized the growing frustration among Filipinos with the cycle of politics. He observed that the electorate’s message is clear that they are “sick and tired” of political maneuvering and call for a government that prioritizes effective leadership and action over politics.
“Para sa akin, I have two conclusions dito sa eleksyon. Una, nagsawa na ang Pilipino sa pulitika. Sawang-sawa na sa pulitika. Ang mensahe, sa amin lahat – hindi lamang sa akin, kung hindi sa aming lahat – tama na ‘yung pamumulitika ninyo at kami naman ang asikasuhin ninyo,” President Marcos stated.
“Tama na ‘yung pulitika. Magtrabaho – gawin na natin lahat ng kailangang gawin,” the President added.
President Marcos also acknowledged the public’s dissatisfaction with the pace and tangible impact of government services.
The Chief Executive recognized that many Filipinos feel disconnected from government projects and have yet to see the real benefits of these initiatives in their everyday lives.
“Disappointed ang tao sa serbisyo ng gobyerno. Hindi nila nararamdaman at masyadong mabagal ang galaw nang pagbubuo ng mga project na hindi pa nila maramdaman,” the President noted.
President Marcos assured the public that, “Asahan nila na tayo naman, kahit nasa matatas na posisyon, asahan nila, lagi kaming nakikinig. Lagi kaming nakikinig sa kanilang hinaing, sa kanilang nagiging problema. At hahanapan natin ng long-term solutions. At ngayon, talagang mamadaliin na namin yung immediate solutions na pwedeng gawin, gawain na kaagad. At yun ang mararamdaman ng taong bayan.”
