Manila. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday asked all of his Cabinet secretaries to submit their resignations in what he called a “bold reset” of his administration, following midterm election setbacks that saw opposition candidates gain key Senate seats.
In the May 12 midterm elections, allies of Sara Duterte and her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, won five of the 12 contested Senate seats.
Candidates endorsed by Marcos won five Senate seats, while two more seats were claimed by liberal democrats aligned with the late former President Benigno Aquino III, a longstanding political rival of the Marcos family.
