After retaining most agency chiefs, Marcos to review undersecretaries

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said his administration’s performance review has expanded to undersecretaries across all government agencies after most Cabinet members passed his initial evaluation.

Hinting that more personnel changes were coming, Marcos said he prefers not to call the review process a “Cabinet revamp” as he is still “in the process of examining” department and agency officials.

“It’s not a one-shot, one-time, big-time thing. It is an ongoing thing,” Marcos said. “This is something, it is essentially putting all government agencies, departments on notice that we have to do better.”

Marcos on May 22 called for all Cabinet secretaries to submit their courtesy resignations as part of a “bold reset” of his administration after the midterm elections.

Most department heads — including members of his economic team — retained their positions.
