Recently, in a pre-recorded video message that was delivered during the Philippine National Police (PNP) Day celebration at Camp Crame on Thursday, many people noticed the physical changes in the president. He appeared to have lost weight, and Executive Secretary Ralph Recto revealed the reason behind this.
According to the executive secretary, the president has been on a ‘soup-only’ diet over the past several days.
“Kung kayong lahat ay kumain lang ng sabaw ng tatlo o apat, limang araw eh talagang papayat ka,”
he said. He reiterated that Marcos Jr. is now in good condition and will return to doing his normal activities next week amid the allegations that president’s absence from events was due to poor health.
Meanwhile, the
Palace sees no reason to publicize Marcos Jr.’s medical results
, as the president’s condition is not a serious illness.
“Sa ating pagkakaalam pag naglabas ng medical bulletin dapat serious illness. Kung sinabi ng Pangulo na hindi ito life-threatening, bakit kakailanganin ngayon ang medical bulletin samantalang kami ay nagp-provide sa inyo ng kalagayan ng kalusugan ng Pangulo?
” Palace press officer Atty. Claire Castro said.
