Malacañang on Saturday dismissed rumors circulating online that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had been brought to St. Luke’s Medical Center.
“The President was in a private meeting with PMS (Presidential Management Staff) this morning. He is well, healthy, and working even on a Saturday,” Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro told reporters in a message.
Her statement came after unverified posts claimed the President had been admitted to the hospital.
Castro, however, did not elaborate on the nature of the meeting.
Malacañang has repeatedly cautioned the public against spreading unverified information, particularly on matters involving the President’s health, and urged reliance on official channels for updates.
Mr. Marcos, 68, has maintained a regular public schedule in recent weeks, including official engagements and meetings with government officials and stakeholders. — Charles Dantes
