Marcos orders progress reports every 2 weeks to fast-track priority projects

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has required government agencies to submit progress reports on projects every two weeks to ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of priority programs.

According to Palace Press Officer Usec. Claire Castro, Marcos met with the economic team and urged all agencies to push forward with their programs and projects.

“Ipag-uutos din ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. ang pagmo-monitor sa mga ahensiya at kanilang mga proyekto kada dalawang linggo para makita ang progress or progreso nito,” Castro said during the regular Palace press briefing. 

“Huwag ninyong subukang magbigay ng maling report,” she added.

(President Marcos Jr. ordered that agencies and their projects be monitored and reports be submitted every two weeks so that their progress will be seen. Don't try to submit an erroneous report.)

Castro said a monitoring mechanism will be implemented to ensure project reports are accurate and not overstated.

“Ang sinabi niya, kapag nagkaroon ng report, ayaw niya na dahil lang sa magkakaroon ng monitoring every two weeks ay maliin ang report o papogiin ang report. So, ayaw ng Pangulo ng maling report,” she said.

(He said he didn't want wrong entries or window dressing in the reports just because there will be monitoring every two weeks. The President doesn't wish to be given wrong reports.)

The submission of false or inaccurate reports will entail consequences such as dismissal from the service, the Palace official said. –NB, GMA Integrated News
