PBBM arrives in US for APEC Summit

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has arrived in San Francisco, California to attend the 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, where he will advocate for the Philippines' national agendas.

He will push for financing a just, sustainable, and affordable energy transition through partnerships with the business sector and emphasize the need to invest more on clean energy to preserve and protect the environment.

Marcos Jr. anticipates the signing of several agreements on the sidelines of the summit, covering sectors such as nuclear energy, artificial intelligence, health sciences, and satellite connectivity.

The President will also engage with American business leaders to promote trade and investment opportunities in the Philippines, accompanied by a business delegation.

His itinerary includes visits to Los Angeles and Honolulu, Hawaii, where he will receive a security briefing on the West Philippine Sea situation at the US Indo-Pacific Command.

This trip, Marcos' third to the US as president, is at the invitation of US President Joe Biden, who chairs this year's summit.
