MANILA, Philippines – President Benigno S. Aquino III will be in Brunei this weekend to attend the wedding of Hajah Hafizah Sururul Bolkiah, the daughter of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, a Palace source said.

Aquino may be accompanied by Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, the source added.

It will be Aquino’s second trip to Brunei since he made an official visit to the tiny oil-rich sultanate in June 2011.

The full guest list of the royal wedding would be released only on the day of the royal banquet on Sunday, September 23, but among Southeast Asian leaders, those who had reportedly confirmed their attendance through their respective offices were Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Hafizah, 32, and Pengiran Haji Muhammad Ruzaini, 29, exchanged vows on Thursday and will be officially presented to the royal court on Sunday. – Rappler.com
