Malacañang Speaks on Scheduled Trips of Pres. Bongbong Marcos Abroad
MALACAÑANG – The Palace revealed details about the first foreign trips of President Bongbong Marcos this September.
The Philippine government recently embraced a transition. Last June 30, former Senator Bongbong Marcos who won the presidential elections 2022 took his oath as the 17th president of the Republic of the Philippines. The inauguration ceremony was held at the Philippine National museum.
The Marcos family and some closest friends in politics and other fields, the President’s Cabinet members, and several distinguished guests graced the event. It was also the time when he returned to Malacañang which was his home for more than a decade when his late father was the country’s president.
However, a few days after he assumed office, Marcos Jr. tested positive for COVID-19. He was in isolation for seven days. Meanwhile, he recovered fast and continued working remotely even when he was in isolation.
According to Malacañang, Pres. Bongbong Marcos is set to have his first foreign trip next month. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, the 64-year-old Chief Executive is set to visit Indonesia and Singapore.
Malacañang said that Pres. Bongbong Marcos will be visiting Indonesia from September 4 to 6. After his visit to Indonesia, the Philippine President is set to fly to Singapore for a visit from September 6 to 7. Singapore’s government has sent an invitation to Marcos Jr. for a state visit.
Based on the report, it has been a tradition among the Philippine presidents to choose a Southeast Asian nation for their first trips as the country’s chief executive abroad. With regards to Marcos Jr.’s visit to the United States, the Palace expressed that it is still being worked out although the President already confirmed that he is going.
