00:00President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says his top consideration for the candidate he will anoint for the 2028 presidential elections is
00:07quote, somebody who understands economics.
00:10During the ASEAN Editors and Economic Opinion Leaders Forum, Marcos says,
00:14the next leader should know how to keep the inflation rate low, secure enough food supply, create jobs, improve public
00:20health, and fix the education system.
00:22Somebody who thinks about productivity, because growth is about productivity.
00:28Asked if he had narrowed his choices to two or three names, he says he had some people in mind,
00:33but some had declined.
00:34Marcos adds, while the pool is not limited to those already in public service, it would be unwise to choose
00:39someone with no government experience.
00:41He also says he will not be endorsing anyone soon, noting that timing is everything.
