In his vlog released on Tuesday, Dec. 23, Marcos reminded the people to be careful while driving, avoid excessive eating during parties and gatherings, and do away from harmful firecrackers and fireworks during the holidays.

“Sa pagkain, yung sakto lang po. Alam ninyo naman mataas ang mga kaso ng heart attack ngayong panahon dahil napaparami po ang kain natin ng taba (When it comes to food, just in moderation. As you know, cases of heart attacks are high these days because we tend to consume too much fat)," Marcos cautioned the public. 

He also reminded motorists to prioritize safe driving amid the Christmas festivities.

“Ingat lang po sa pagmamaneho kung saan po kayo pupunta (Be careful when driving to your destinations)," Marcos said.

The President also urged Filipinos to avoid the use of fireworks in celebrating New Year’s Day, and encouraged the use of toy trumpets and other noisy toys to safely welcome 2026.

 

“At siyempre mag-ingat sa mga paputok. Iwasan na natin 'yan. Doon na po tayo sa mga torotot at iba pang maingay na mga laruan para kumpleto at masaya ang pagsalubong natin sa darating na Bagong Taon (And of course, be careful with firecrackers. Let’s avoid them. Let’s stick to party horns and other noise-making toys so our welcome for the coming New Year will be complete and joyful)," the Chief Executive said.

The President also wished Filipinos a joyful and peaceful Christmas celebration with their families and loved ones.

“Sana ay masaya at mapayapa ang inyong pagdiriwang kasama ang inyong mga kaanak at kaibigan mapayapa (May your celebration be happy and peaceful with your relatives and friends)," Marcos said.
