''Fix the problem, not the blame.''

This was President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr.'s guiding principle when solving the country's problems. 

Marcos stressed that immediate action should always take precedence over finger-pointing in solving problems. The President was talking about the power crisis in Siquijor province, wherein residents endured prolonged blackouts

“I’ve always approached ‘yung mga problemang ganito, mayroon lang ako laging in my head na sinasabi, ang una mong reaksyon: Fix the problem, not the blame,” Marcos said at the BBM Podcast released on Friday.

(I've always approached this kind of problem with this: Fix the problem, not the blame.)
 
“Kasi nga sabi, ‘sinong dapat mananagot diyan? sinong ganyan?’ O sige, that will – pero ayusin muna natin ‘yung problema,” he added. 

(Who should be held accountable? Let's fix the problem first.) 

On June 14, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) restored stable electricity in Siquijor, ending several days of rotating brownouts that affected thousands of families, businesses, and schools.
 
Marcos also gave authorities six months to permanently resolve the power supply issue, which included a review of the operations of the Siquijor Island Power Corporation (SIPCOR). —VAL, GMA Integrated News
