Providing excellent service to Filipinos is the government's resolution for the New Year, President Marcos said, as he vowed to "build better more" and to eliminate rules that obstruct the implementation of projects in 2024.

"When a new year comes, Filipinos have a New Year's resolution or a promised change in their lives. The New Year's resolution of your government is to strive to render excellent and honest service in full swing, which is the key to a better life for all of us," the President said in a recorded New Year message.

“We will continue to purge government of rules that slow the delivery of public services because when projects get delayed, progress is denied our people. And this commitment to efficiency and service will extend to documents and licenses because service delayed is also service denied,” he added.

According to Marcos, there are government achievements “not captured by headline economic barometers.”

He cited the building of 33 additional specialty centers, more than 2,000 classrooms and seven additional cold chain facilities.
