First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos, with the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), distributed 'charitimba' food packs to the residents of Legarda in Manila who have been affected of the bad weather.

First Lady Liza inspects ongoing renovations at PICC for ASEAN 2026
First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos inspected the ongoing renovations and preparations at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) for the ASEAN 2026. ''This iconic space has been a witness to many pivotal chapters in our history -- and now, it's being primed to host the world once more,'' Liza said in a social media post. ''My heartfelt thanks to the efficient PICC team and to our ASEAN National Organizing Committee for their dedication in making this landmark a venue that reflects not just our hospitality, but our strength, our progress and our vision for the region,'' she added. The Philippines will host the ASEAN Summit and Related Summits next year. To recall, the Office of the President's budget for fiscal year 2025 was increased as it asked for supplemental funds for the Philippines' hosting of the ASEAN Summit and its related meetings. The ASEAN aims to accelerate economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region through joint endeavors in the spirit of equality and partnership that will strengthen the foundation for a prosperous and peaceful community of Southeast Asian nations. The bloc also aims to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries of the region and adherence to the principles of the United Nations charter. — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
