Presidential candidate and frontrunner Bongbong Marcos has announced that he is forming his transition team and cabinet members following his landslide win in the May 9 polls.
In a media briefing on Wednesday, Marcos said that he is now forming the teams to spearhead the transition from President Rodrigo Duterte to his administration.
“Economy, prices, lack of jobs, education, infrastructure, all of these areas will be critical in the next few years,” Marcos said.
