President Marcos announced that he has been diagnosed with diverticulitis, a common intestinal condition, but assured the public that his health is stable and not life-threatening.
He said he is feeling much better after receiving medical attention and has returned to the Malacañang Palace.
The President described the condition as often linked to stress and aging, noting that doctors advised him to slow down due to overwork.
Marcos emphasized that there is no reason for concern and cautioned against speculation about his ability to govern.
The Palace confirmed he was under medical observation as a precaution while continuing to work and follow doctors’ advice.
