PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday said the government is studying how it could provide additional support for Filipino World War 2 veterans.

'What we are looking at is how we could strengthen the system of providing the pension for our veterans. Because at the moment, if we don't fix the system, it will not last long because of the big amount of pension we give out,' Marcos told reporters in Filipino at the sidelines of the 81st Day of Valor (Araw ng Kagitingan) commemoration in Mount Samat, Bataan.
