Marcos Jr. Sets Record for Foreign Trips, Heads to Singapore for F1 and Meetings

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will fly to Singapore from October 7‑11 for a working visit that includes a meeting with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, attendance at the Forbes Global CEO Conference, a tour of the Singapore Nuclear Research and Safety Institute, and a stop to watch the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The trip marks his sixth visit to the Lion City, his second in 2026, and his third time watching the race. In his first four years in office, Marcos has made 47 international trips, surpassing former presidents Benigno Aquino III (46 trips) and Rodrigo Duterte (31 trips), both of whom were noted for limiting overseas travel. The record underscores a more outward‑looking foreign‑policy agenda under Marcos’s administration.
