President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced that his health is improving, according to a vlog he released on Sunday, February 1.

In the video update, the president revealed he lost weight after being placed on a liquid diet for several days. Malacañang previously disclosed that Marcos Jr. was diagnosed with diverticulitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the digestive system.

"I'm recovering well, and the doctors' assessment is good—nothing serious. I just need to regain my strength," President Marcos Jr. stated in his vlog.

["ako naman eto, nagre-recover na rin, maganda naman ang assessment ng mga doctor, nothing serious, kailangan magpalakas ulit.”]

The president's health update comes after concerns were raised about his condition. Diverticulitis occurs when small pouches in the digestive tract become inflamed or infected, often requiring dietary modifications and medical treatment.

Despite the temporary health setback, the president assured the public that his recovery is progressing smoothly and that medical professionals have given him a positive prognosis.
