I’m OK, Marcos Jr. says on healthPresident Marcos plays with his dog Oreo yesterday, in a video released by Malacañang. MANILA, Philippines — Amid rumors of his alleged deteriorating health, President Marcos appeared in a video message last night, assuring the public that he is fine while he continues to take medications for his diverticulitis. “I was just prescribed medication and continue to take antibiotics, but I’m OK,” Marcos said in Filipino. Earlier in the day, Castro said Marcos has no serious illness and continues to work inside Malacañang,. (If the President said it was not life-threatening, then what is the need for a medical bulletin, while we are providing you with the President’s health status?)
