He says he’s going to highlight the country’s plans for developing resilient infrastructure, reinforcing supply chains, and strengthening food security.
In Davos, the real showstopper is likely going to be the Marcos-led Philippine delegation. Oh well, that’s a doozy. He is said to be leading a delegation of at least 70 people, but nobody knows who they are or what they do. We’re just sending a bunch of people, about 70 of them, and nobody knows why.
Marcos and his travel buddies go to Davos using the same old pretense – that is, to seek international recognition for the country. But the reality is that they are merely rubbing shoulders with the global elite, attempting to gain credibility and legitimacy by association. It’s like they’re just trying to get a photo with the cool kids to show off to their friends back home.
