PINALAKAS NA AKSYON KONTRA-SMUGGLING
Sa inspeksyon ng nasabat na smuggled electronic vapes sa Maynila, binigyang-pugay ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang mga ahensya para sa tuloy-tuloy na pagkumpiska ng smuggled goods sa bansa.
Ayon kay PBBM, higit sa epekto ng smuggling sa kita ng gobyerno, ang pinakamahalagang isyu ay ang panganib na maaaring idulot ng mga ilegal na produkto sa kalusugan ng mga mamamayan, lalo na ng mga kabataan.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. met with H.E. Ahmed Saad Nasser Abdullah Al-Homidi, Ambassador of Qatar to the Philippines, to discuss the status of 17 Filipinos previously detained in Qatar for illegal assembly. Following the meeting, PBBM welcomed the good news that Qatar will not pursue charges against the individuals, will not impose any penalties, and will allow them to return to work.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the launching of a job fair in Antipolo City on Friday for beneficiaries of government aid programs.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced on Thursday that at least 328 low-income barangays will receive funding to establish their respective Child Development Centers (CDCs) this year.

On a slow Thursday morning, Malacañang became filled with children's laughter and excitement as President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. joyfully read them a short story titled "Ang Limang Tuta."

On Friday, United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reaffirmed his country's commitment to its alliance with the Philippines and the economic partnership between the two countries.

During the 7th Executive Meeting of NTF-ELCAC, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Emphasizes Government's Commitment to Supporting the Reintegration of Former Rebels through the Continuous Implementation of the Barangay Development Program
