Even President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. acknowledged that his administration would have to “dig deep” to fight corruption, and he pledged to go after erring government workers who have had a corrosive influence on government.

Malacanang also gave its take on talk that President Duterte could become Marcos Jr.’s drug czar, saying that there was no obstruction for such an appointment.

The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Covid-19 has kept Metro Manila under Alert Level 1 until June 15, 2022, and has eased travel restrictions further by no longer requiring any Covid-19 tests on all arriving passengers.  

The United States will also have a new ambassador to the Philippines in MaryKay Loss Carlson, replacing Sung Kim.

These are among the top stories this Fiday afternoon, May 27, 2022.

124 YRS OLD – Emilio Aguinaldo Suntay IV, great grandson of President Emilio Aguinaldo, poses with an encased and time-ravaged Philippine flag, which is on permanent exhibit at the Aguinaldo Museum in Baguio City. It was the same flag that was unfurled after the Philippine Revolution Army defeated Spanish forces at the Battle of Alapan in Imus, Cavite, on May 28, 1898. After more than a century, Suntay said the flag badly needs preservation ahead of the commemoration of National Flag Day on Saturday, May 28, 2022. (JJ Landingin)
