Bongbang Marcos fights rumors of poor health with star jump

On April 13, Philippine President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr made a series of impromptu star jumps to quash rumors about his failing health.

He challenged naysayers to “come work out with me” if they doubted his fitness.

In late January, the president was diagnosed with diverticulitis, an abdominal disease, and briefly went on a strict soup-based diet, resulting in significant weight loss at the time.
