Palace: No holiday break for Marcos during Holy Week

MANILA, Philippines — There will be no holiday break for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during the Holy Week, as he will continue overseeing government operations, Malacañang assured the public Wednesday. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said Marco would remain on duty "24/7" during his stay in his home province of Ilocos Norte. "We know that wherever the President is, even in Ilocos Norte or elsewhere, once he gives an order, it must be followed, especially if it is for our countrymen," Castro said during a radio interview. "Amid the crisis in the Middle East, the President cannot stop working just because it is a holiday. It does not work that way. The President is on duty 24/7," she added.
