Marcos Shares Holiday Reminders in a Light Christmas Vlog

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. marked Christmas 2025 with a casual vlog that mixed humor, family moments, and timely reminders for Filipinos enjoying the holiday season. While the tone was relaxed, the message focused on health, safety, and celebrating responsibly.

One of the key points raised was food. The President encouraged everyone to enjoy holiday dishes but warned against overeating, especially foods high in fat. He pointed out that medical emergencies tend to rise during the holidays, often linked to heavy meals and lack of moderation.

Travel safety was also highlighted. With many families heading out of town, Marcos reminded motorists to be careful on the road. He once again urged the public to avoid firecrackers during Christmas and New Year celebrations, suggesting safer alternatives like party horns and noise-making toys to prevent injuries.

The vlog also featured lighter moments, with the President answering common holiday questions sent in by netizens. Topics ranged from exchange gifts and potluck ideas to how much dessert is too much. His responses balanced humor with practical advice, reminding viewers to value the thought behind gifts and to share items with others if they are not needed.

Family dynamics were also touched on, including playful advice on handling comments about holiday weight gain. First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos joined the vlog, adding to the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the conversation.

Questions about godparents and gift-giving came up as well, with the President acknowledging that giving gifts remains part of the role, even suggesting digital options for those who cannot attend gatherings in person.

The vlog ended with a simple message of goodwill, as the President wished Filipinos a peaceful and joyful Christmas and a happy New Year.
