The public must be “objective” in looking at President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s foreign trips as most of his trips “are really important,” Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez said Thursday.
In fact, there were also other Philippine presidents who used to travel a lot, Romualdez added. One of them was former President Fidel V. Ramos, he said. “For one, who is a friend of ours, President Ramos. He traveled so many times, and many of the trips of President Ramos were important in the sense that he was out there promoting also the same thing: he wanted more economic activity,” the envoy said in an interview with ANC.
“If you are going to compare the expense versus what is really important. It’s really nothing in that sense… That’s why we have to look at it really from a point, be very objective about it,” he said.
