Bongbong Marcos assumed office as the president of the Republic of the Philippines on June 30, 2022, and his term is expected to end on June 30, 2028. As the president, he has the authority to appoint members of his Cabinet, subject to the approval of the Commission on Appointments. Only the vice president is exempted from a confirmation hearing to any cabinet position.[1][2][3]
On May 22, 2025, President Marcos reshuffled the Cabinet after a weaker-than-expected showing for the candidates in his Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas in the 2025 Philippine general election. [4][5][6][7][8]

Presidential order for courtesy resignations
On May 22, 2025, President Bongbong Marcos called for the "courtesy resignation of all Cabinet secretaries".[69][70] This decision was made in proprietary measures following the administration's significant poor performance in the 2025 midterm elections which saw only half of Marcos' slate in the senate be elected.[71][72]
