PRESIDENT Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. is unlikely to appoint new heads of the Department of Health (DoH) and the Department of National Defense (DND) soon, saying he is satisfied with the performance of the two agencies' officers in charge.

'Let's be patient. Basta't na ... Ako, ang concern ko lang 'yung kailangang gawin na trabaho, nagagawa. So far naman, nagagawa (My only concern is so long as they are doing their job, they stay. So far, they are able to do their job),' Marcos told reporters in a chance interview in Quezon City, pertaining to Maria Rosario Vergeire and Jose Faustino Jr., officers in charge of the DoH and DND, respectively.
