ANAYSIS ON FERDINAND “BONGBONG” MARCOS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Formality
As far as debut political addresses go, this one sounded very simple. It was presented
well. Unlike his predecessor, Mr. Rodrigo Duterte, who became well-known for his fondness for
improvising and making fun of the formal text in front of him, President Bongbong Marcos stuck
to his prepared remarks. His speech did not use colloquial language or slang, nor does it contain
the terms "hasn't" or "doesn't." In contrast, informal speech would never use words like "cannot,"
"do not," and others.
Objectivity
He highlighted the benefit of hard work under his watch. Crime reduction, economic
expansion, and corruption reduction are among the goals of his administration. The Philippines
has suffered from these issues for a very long time, and something needs to be done. In his
speech, Mr. Marcos also appealed to the more than one million Filipinos who left the country to
find work abroad — as nannies, home health aides and seamen. These workers represent only
about 2 percent of the population, but they have emerged as an important voting bloc. President
Ferdinand Marcos Jr. delivered on his campaign pledge to bring about change in the Philippines
in his first 100 days in office. He ran on a platform of increased economic growth, reduced
violent crime, and governmental change.
Additionally, he promised to complete on schedule the ongoing infrastructure projects
from the previous administration and to develop a more thorough infrastructure plan that will be
carried out during his administration. Recalling his own experience after contracting the disease,
Marcos said that the nation's COVID-19 response had shortcomings that he wanted to address.
He also promised to take action to combat climate change and criticized richer nations who are
less affected by its effects and are not doing much about it. Additionally, the new president
promised that his administration will improve the educational system, but he said he pertained to
the sciences and vocational skills, not history. Marcos concluded his speech by thanking the
people, vowing to do his best.

Explicitness
In his roughly 25-minute inaugural speech, Marcos listed his top concerns as president,
including the economy, environment, infrastructure improvement, and the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. He reaffirmed his pledge of unifying leadership, saying that by electing him, the
people rejected the "politics of division," and he asked for the public's assistance in realizing his
vision for the nation. The former president was also thanked for "the courage of his hard
judgments."
In addition to promising to address food security throughout his term, Marcos claimed
that his economic team was developing a "comprehensive, all-inclusive plan" for the economy.
 In a series of articles, the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) pointed
out that Marcos has failed to address in his inaugural speech some of the key topics and issues
gripping the country.

Among these were:

 Whether or not the public will get to see a copy of his Statement of Assets, Liabilities,
and Net Worth (SALN) as president
 The Freedom of Information (FOI) bill
 Attacks against press freedom in the Philippines
 The Bangsamoro peace process
 Duterte’s drug war and the ICC probe
 The corruption issues and allegations surrounding his family.

Caution
During the campaign, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. acknowledged that he "did not
talk much" or engage in argument with his opponents. In spite of everything, he managed to win
handily, and in his first speech as the nation's 17th President, he outlined his broad strategies for
helping the nation out of its numerous challenges. 
Conclusion
Most presidents use their first address to the nation to outline their vision for the country
and their objectives. As the nation's 17th President, President Marcos promised on Thursday that
he would address the nation's issues without placing an additional burden on regular Filipinos
and that he would make "no excuses" for anything that he would be unable to complete during
the course of the following six years. The late, overthrown leader who controlled the nation for
20 years received praise and adulation from him. He also established the stated accomplishments
of the elder Marcos as the standard for his own government.
In his speech, Mr. Marcos offered forgiveness to his critics and opponents and urged
Filipinos to band together to overcome the economic disaster brought on by the pandemic. He
expressed his satisfaction that the concept of promoting national harmony he had emphasized
during the presidential campaign had found resonance with Filipino voters.
