The well-known lawyer insulted President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., referring to him as “tamad,” which means “lazy.”
PBBM was sworn in as the 17th President on Thursday, June 30. It was presented in Manila’s National Museum. It had already been stated that the first Cabinet meeting of the Marcos administration would be canceled and rescheduled for next week. Falcis, a well-known lawyer, questioned the cancellation of the first Cabinet meeting.
He also wonders why no one has been elected to the other agencies up to this point: Department of Science and Technology (DOST)
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Foreign Affairs (DOF), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Health (DOH), and The Department of Housing and Urban Development (DHSUD).
Atty. Jesus Falcis has also stated that he will not accept Marcos Jr. as president because he chose not to vote for him in the recent election.
He further stated that if PBBM had not been lazy, he would have had his first Cabinet meeting.
The lawyer also analyzed the dates of previous Presidents Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino and Rodrigo Duterte’s first Cabinet meeting with PBBM.
Falcis’ comment, which has been posted on the social media site Facebook, reads as follows:

The Palace, it appears, has yet to publish a formal statement explaining why the first Cabinet meeting of the Marcos administration was postponed.
