Join our chief correspondent and anchor Pia Hontiveros on Politics As Usual — your weekly political appointment fix.

The idea of a president’s first 100 days has its origins in the United States in the early 1930s, as the country wallowed in the Great Depression.

The brave and bold actions that then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took would define both his first 100 days and the rest of his presidency.

Today here in the Philippines and here on CNN Philippines, we’ll keep a close eye on President Bongbong Marcos’ first 100 days.

We’ll start with a closer look at his many firsts in office barely a week since taking his oath….

His first executive act on a bill passed by Congress…

His first Cabinet meeting…

His first public briefing…

Even his first Monday flag-raising ceremony.

What are the priorities and promises of the 17th president of the Philippines?
