Mandaluyong City: President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. emphasized the importance of setting aside political differences and focusing on national development now that the midterm elections have concluded.

"Let's let people know what we're doing. Let's let people know that we are going to continue to work hard now. And put the, as I said, politics aside," he stated.

The President expressed his hope that the initiatives launched during his administration would be sustained through to the end of his term in 2028. He also called upon the media to assist in keeping the public informed about his administration's policies and programs. "Lagi natin binibilang ang araw na natira sa term ko. At kailangan matapos ang nasimulan natin," he emphasized, underscoring the urgency of completing his agenda.
