Marcos to spend Christmas in Manila, says PCO 

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family will celebrate Christmas in Manila, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said. 

“Manila. That’s the plan,” said PCO chief Cesar Chavez. 

The First Family and their relatives also spent Christmas last year with a celebration at Malacañang. 

In one of his vlogs early this year, Marcos said that his New Year’s resolution was to spend more time with his family. 

“Ang talagang New Year’s resolution simple lang - to spend more time with my family at hindi ko na sila halos nakikita dahil siyempre busy tayo, busy rin sila,” the chief executive said in his vlog last January 6. 

(My New Year’s resolution is simple - to spend more time with my family because I don’t see them often due to our busy schedules.) 

Marcos’ most recent foreign trip was to the United Arab Emirates last November for a working visit.
