Filipino community welcomes top migrant workers official
This occasion showcased a strong sense of unity and active participation among overseas Filipinos, who greeted the Secretary with profound appreciation and hope.
He was joined by Assistant Secretary Venecio Legaspi, and this visit was part of a larger initiative aimed at enhancing support systems for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Bahrain and the Middle East.

The program began with interfaith prayers led by Rev. Father Anthony Almazan and Mr. Abdullah Roozbah, symbolizing the spiritual solidarity of the Filipino community in Bahrain.

Philippines' Marcos in India as navies hold joint drills
President Ferdinand Marcos arrived in India on Monday on a visit aimed at strengthening defence and strategic ties between nations as they navigate tensions with China across the Asia-Pacific. The five-day visit follows the Philippines' acquisition of India's BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system -- the first such export by New Delhi -- with deliveries beginning in April under a $375 million deal signed in 2022. The visit comes as Indian Navy warships take part in patrols of the disputed South China Sea with their Philippine counterparts for the first time. The two-day sail includes three Indian vessels and started Sunday, a day before Marcos left on a trip that will include talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India's naval vessels, including the guided missile destroyer INS Delhi, arrived in Manila for a port visit late last week. The patrol 'started yesterday afternoon, then it's ongoing up to this moment... the activity at the moment is replenishment at sea,' Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Salgado told AFP.

Philippine President Marcos to visit US
Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos will visit the United States from July 20 to 22, Manila's department of foreign affairs said Friday, after the country was hit with trade tariffs of 20 percent imposed by Washington. "We are working with the U.S. State Department to finalize the details of the visit," the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. Jose Manuel Romualdez, the Philippine ambassador to the United States, told AFP Friday that Marcos is set to meet with US President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to discuss "defense and economic ties". Manila and Washington have deepened their cooperation since Marcos took office in 2022 and began pushing back on Beijing's South China Sea claims. Bound by a 1951 mutual defence treaty, the two allies conduct frequent maritime exercises in the disputed waterway with Washington warning that it is committed to defend the Philippines if Filipino forces or vessels come under attack. It will be the first official visit of Marcos to the United States since Trump took office.
