MANILA—Malacañang assured that the Philippine economy remains stable and attractive to investors as President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. pushes reforms to eliminate corruption in public infrastructure projects.

Presidential Communications Office and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the country’s economic foundation remains strong while the administration works to end corruption, promote honest governance, and respond to public concerns.

“Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., nanatiling matatag ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas na may matibay na pundasyon at bukas na pagkakataon para sa mga mamumuhunan,” Castro said in a Malacañang press briefing.

Citing a message from the Department of Finance under then–Finance Secretary and incoming Executive Secretary Ralph Recto, Castro said the President remains firm in holding accountable those involved in corrupt activities.

“Hindi matitinag si Pangulong Marcos sa pag-usig sa sinumang nasa likod ng mga tiwaling gawain – kamag-anak man, kaalyado, o kahit na ang sariling kadugo,” she said.

Castro added that the government is addressing corruption and other issues through “konkreto at mabilis na aksyon,” in line with the President’s directives.

She said the administration has adopted a comprehensive catch-up plan anchored on national priorities to boost economic growth.

“Unti-unti ring ibababa ng pamahalaan ang deficit at utang habang lumilikha ng mas maraming trabaho, tumataas ang kita ng mga Pilipino, at mas marami pang aangat ang buhay,” Castro noted.

According to Castro, the Marcos administration continues to listen to public concerns, acts promptly to resolve problems, and puts national and public interests first.

“Ito rin ay isang gobyernong tumutupad sa pangako — walang takot, walang pinapaboran, at walang pag-aatubiling pinapanagot ang sinuman,” she said.
