Malacañang urged critics of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to pause politicking and reflect this Holy Week instead of spreading misinformation or fear.
PCO Undersecretary Claire Castro emphasized that Marcos is focused on addressing national issues, including the impact of the Middle East war on fuel and commodity prices.
She called on detractors to cooperate with the administration for the benefit of the country and its citizens.
Castro defended Marcos against claims that he prioritizes his legacy over urgent problems, highlighting his active measures to secure alternative fuel sources and provide financial aid.
She stressed that the administration is taking a whole-of-government approach to mitigate the effects of global oil price volatility.
