President Marcos Announces Quarterly Cabinet Performance Review
President Marcos recently revealed that the Cabinet performance review process is ongoing, with plans to conduct evaluations every quarter. This move aims to ensure that all Cabinet members consistently meet their targets and improve government operations. The President emphasized that this approach is not a one-time event but a continuous effort to enhance accountability across all departments.
“Titingnan natin yung mga target ba natin naabot ba natin,” Marcos said, highlighting the importance of measuring progress regularly. He added that the review process will be more rigorous, covering not only top officials but also lower-level positions within government agencies. “We will be much much more rigorous in looking at the performance, not only at the top level but all the way,” he noted.
Clarifying the Nature of the Cabinet Recalibration
Contrary to earlier perceptions, the President clarified that the current reshuffling is not a full Cabinet revamp. Instead, it serves as a probationary period for all Cabinet members. “What happened really here was that I put everyone on notice that you are, basically, all on probation,” he explained.
Marcos shared that they are now assessing the performance of undersecretaries and agency officials to ensure effectiveness throughout the government hierarchy. As of early June, most Cabinet secretaries have retained their positions, but several key agencies saw leadership changes. The President accepted resignations from seven officials, including heads of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Solicitor General, and Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
Ongoing Changes and Future Outlook
This quarterly Cabinet performance review signals a shift toward greater transparency and accountability. By putting all officials on regular notice, the administration aims to motivate continuous improvement and swift action when targets are not met. Marcos assured the public that more adjustments will come as performance assessments deepen.
These developments reflect the administration’s commitment to strengthening governance and delivering better public service. The President’s approach encourages all government bodies to perform with urgency and responsibility.
