President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Saturday visited the 162 families comprising 538 individuals, who are taking shelter at the Tanza National High School in Navotas City since their homes were flooded due to heavy rains this week.

Under a drizzle, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Saturday inspected the ongoing repair of the navigational gate of the North Navotas Pumping Station (NNPS), which helps control floodwaters, especially during high tide and flood emergencies.

Underscoring the need for accessible healthcare for every Filipino, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Friday introduced a broader range of free primary care services, including free access to 75 essential medicines, laboratory tests, and cancer screenings.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday ordered concerned agencies to send medical teams and health professionals to various evacuation centers to prevent the possible outbreak of diseases among people taking shelter.

Hours after arriving from the United States, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday visited the Maly Elementary School in San Mateo, Rizal, to personally deliver assistance to families displaced by floods who are now taking shelter at the school.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. concluded his official visit to Washington, D.C. with over USD21 billion in investment pledges from major American companies—one of the largest economic gains from a single foreign mission by a Philippine president.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. received high praise from U.S. President Donald J. Trump as both leaders reaffirmed the Philippines–US alliance as “ironclad.”

Speaking to the press, President Trump expressed his admiration for the Filipino people as well as for PBBM, saying, “We love them and we respect their leader."

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. underscored the critical importance of the Philippines-United States alliance in maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea and the broader Indo-Pacific region during his bilateral meeting with U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon on Monday.
