Marcos reappears in public after 4 days
After being absent from the public eye for four days, President Marcos on Wednesday made an unannounced visit to Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.
He led the situation briefing of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on the impact of Supertyphoon “Nando” (international name: Ragasa) and the southwest monsoon, and the preparations for Severe Tropical Storm “Opong” (Bualoi), which is expected to hit Luzon this weekend.
At a briefing, Palace press officer Claire Castro said President Marcos was well and had been “busy with private meetings” in Malacañang, although she refused to say who he met with.
The President’s last public appearance was on Sept. 20 at Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Manila, where he ordered the return of P60 billion to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp., which had transferred its excess funds to the national treasury last year.
Mr. Marcos was supposed to preside over the NDRRMC situation briefings on Monday and Tuesday, but he was a no-show.
