Bongbong Marcos says he had a ‘very good, very quiet’ Holy Week
MANILA, Philippines — “Very good and very quiet.”
This was how President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Monday described how he spent the Holy Week.
He said he went into a retreat, which he said was a routine for him, and “fasted” starting on Good Friday.
“Very good! Very quiet. I did my usual routine, where I went into retreat. For the weekend, starting on Friday, I fasted,” he said in a chance interview in Bataan when asked how he spent the Holy Week break.
“It was a good time to take a breath, take a step back, take long walks, and think very hard about what it is that we have to do,” Marcos added.
The President earlier said he would spend Easter Sunday with his family.
On Monday, Marcos attended the 81st anniversary and commemoration of the Araw ng Kagitingan, or Day of Valor.
He said the Fall of Bataan “marked the beginning of the Filipinos’ resurgence as a fighting force.”
