Marcos: Eleksyon 2025 results show Pinoys tired of too much politics, slow government

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Monday said he has two conclusions in the Eleksyon 2025 —the people are tired of politics and they are disappointed with the government. 

''Una, nagsawa na ang Pilipino sa pulitika. Sawang-sawa na sa pulitika. Ang mensahe, sa amin lahat – hindi lamang sa akin, kung hindi sa aming lahat – tama na ‘yung pamumulitika ninyo at kami naman ang asikasuhin ninyo,'' Marcos said in a podcast with broadcaster Anthony Taberna. 

Marcos then said elected officials should focus on their duties and do what needs to be done for the welfare of the public. 

''Tama rin naman eh. Iyan naman talaga ang dapat nating ginagawa. Kaya mabuti, o tapos na ‘yung eleksyon, tama na ‘yung pulitika. Tama na ‘yung pulitika. Magtrabaho – gawin na natin lahat ng kailangang gawin,'' Marcos said. 

The second conclusion is that the public is already disappointed with the service of the government, Marcos said. 

''Iyong pangalawa, disappointed ang tao sa serbisyo ng gobyerno. Hindi nila nararamdaman at masyadong mabagal ang galaw nang pagbubuo ng mga project na hindi pa nila maramdaman,'' Marcos said. 

Over the weekend, Marcos reflected on the results of the 2025 midterm elections, saying that he wished for better results. 

Of the 12 newly elected senators, six were endorsed by Marcos under the Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas.
