Palace denies PBBM in Singapore for F1 weekend


Manila: Malacañang on Sunday denied President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. flew to Singapore to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

‘He [Marcos] did not go to Singapore,’ Presidential Communications Office Acting Secretary Cesar Chavez told reporters when asked to respond to claims the President traveled to the city-state to watch the Singapore Grand Prix.

Chavez added that Marcos’ schedule this weekend included staying home with family, shooting his weekly vlog, and reviewing and signing documents.

In a video message released on social media Sunday, Marcos thanked all those who greeted him during his birthday on Sept. 13.

On the day he turned 67, Marcos granted farmers a condonation of their debts and gifted them with a new financing program that will boost farm yields and farmers’ incomes; ordered the payment of the bills incurred that day by qualified patients in third-level government hospitals; and opened the gates of Malacañang in Manila where food booths served the public from all walks of life.

‘Maraming
salamat sa inyong mainit na pagbati (Thank you everyone for all your birthday greetings)!’ Marcos said.

‘Patuloy natin isusulong ang mas malawak at mas abot-kamay na serbisyong medikal para sa bawat Pilipino (We will continue to work for a more inclusive and cheaper medical services for every Filipino),’ he added.
