MANILA — An annoyed Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr did a few rounds of jumping jack exercise and jogged briefly outside his office in front of journalists Monday (April 13) to disprove rumours of his failing health.

Wearing formal office wear, reading glasses and leather shoes, the 68-year-old leader said he did the impromptu workout to ease any worry about his health at a time when people were already beset with problems sparked by the war in the Middle East.
