IT is beyond President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s control on what countries he would visit to advance the Philippines' interest at the international level, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile said Saturday.

During the SMNI News' 'Dito sa Bayan ni Juan' program, Enrile said Marcos needs to embark on foreign trips upon the invitation of host countries.'It is out of his control,' he said, referring to Marcos' overseas trips.'He has to fit his time, available time according to the schedules of the meetings of various countries where we have an interest. Kung hindi naman siya pupunta, sino ang magtatanggol sa atin doon ?' Enrile added.

'Yung biyahe ng Presidente, para sa bayan 'yun eh .'Had Marcos failed to accept the invitation to visit the host country, he would have been labeled 'lazy, clueless, and weak,' Enrile said.According to the CoA report, the OP's foreign travel expenses amounted to P392,307,409 in 2022, higher than the P25,255,163 incurred in 2021.Local travel expenses decreased to P10,780,185 in 2022 from P11,536,738 in 2021.
