Why President Ferdinand Marcos can demand Cabinet resignations

The Freeman

|

May 23, 2025

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has requested the resignation of his entire Cabinet, a move announced on May 22, aimed at “realign[ing] government with the people’s expectations.”

While most executive department secretaries have already submitted their courtesy resignation letters, the president retains the discretion to either accept or reject them.

CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS

The 1987 Constitution gives the president the power to appoint executive department heads.
