An earlier statement by the Presidential Communications Office said Mr. Marcos’ meeting with Biden on May 1 “will substantively [boost] efforts to further deepen relations and political ties, to bring about lasting socioeconomic partnerships, as well as to enhance defense and security cooperation.”
“I think for this trip, there will be a heavy emphasis in terms of the economic agenda—how the President will actually work to advance his priorities in terms of agriculture and food security, in terms of infrastructure development, in terms of renewable energy and clean energy,” DFA spokesperson Teresita Daza said in a press briefing at Malacañang on Friday.
