MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. assured the public that government services will continue uninterrupted despite the ongoing national energy emergency.
In his latest vlog released Sunday, Marcos emphasized that the government cannot afford to slow down or halt operations, even as the country faces external pressures on fuel supply and prices stemming from the Middle East crisis.
The President said the administration remains committed to delivering essential services, including infrastructure, healthcare and education, as well as support for athletes, tourism and culture, regardless of prevailing challenges.
“Hindi natin hahayaang maparalisa ang serbisyong binibigay ng gobyerno, anuman ang problemang hinaharap (We will not allow government services to be paralyzed, regardless of the problems that lie ahead),” he said.
As part of efforts to highlight ongoing programs, Marcos featured the government’s housing initiative, the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program, which aims to address the country’s housing backlog.
On Thursday, the President visited the Palayan City Township Project in Nueva Ecija, where several residential buildings under the program have already been completed and occupied.
The 23-hectare township project is expected to accommodate more than 22,000 beneficiaries once fully completed, offering vertical housing units along with community amenities. (PNA)
