Hindi suportado ni dating Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate ang naging desisyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. hinggil sa courtesy resignation sa kaniyang gabinete.
Ayon sa pahayag ni Zarate nitong Huwebes, Mayo 22, 2025, pawang pagtatakip lamang daw sa lumalalang kondisyon ng bansa ang naturang malawakang resignation sa hanay ng gabinete ng Pangulo.
"President Marcos’ move to consolidate his faction in the wake of the administration’s electoral debacle should not be used as a smokescreen to cover up bad governance and the worsening economic situation of the country," saad ni Zarate.
Dagdag pa niya, lalo lamang daw ipinakita ng PBBM admin ang nangyayaring kahinaan sa kanilang paksyon na maaaring samantalahin ng paksyon ng mga Duterte.

"Such a move clearly demonstrates internal instability and a perceived weakness that the Duterte faction will undoubtedly exploit to its advantage. It signals a defensive posture rather than a confident and proactive approach to governance in the remaining term of the Marcos administration," ani Zarate.
Binigyang-diin din niya na ang kailangan daw ng bansa ang mga lider na may kakayahang tugunan ang kalagayan ng lipunan at hindi ang pagpapalit ng kaalyado para sa politikal na interes.
"The country is facing severe economic headwinds, and what we need are competent leaders with clear strategies, not revolving door of cabinet members dictated by political expediency," aniya.
Saad pa niya, "Any government reshuffle must genuinely aim to improve the lives of ordinary Filipinoos, not to broker political peace for convenience or consolidate power."
