Marcos govt needs better 'messaging'

THE administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. lacks the "messaging" to rally the people behind its socioeconomic agenda, a Philippine-based think tank said on Friday.

Shanice Espiritu, Policy and Regulatory manager of the Stratbase ADR Institute, said during the forum, "The Legitimacy of President Marcos, Jr.: Entailing the Need for More Transparent and Accountable Governance," that the administration does not have a clear message on how it plans to improve bureaucratic efficiency and ensure sound fiscal management.
