President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. visited the United States for the third time since becoming the Philippines’ top leader.

He participated in the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in San Francisco, California, from November 15 to 17.

Marcos also met the Filipino communities in Los Angeles and Honolulu. His visit to the island state of Hawaii was particularly notable because his family went on exile there after the 1986 People Power uprising.
