ICYMI: Racing is “the best way to drum up business,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. claimed in a Facebook post, calling his trip to attend the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singapore over the weekend a “productive one.”

The Singaporean minister earlier confirmed he met with Marcos on the sidelines of the Grand Prix race, which was held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.on Monday, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he was “glad” to see spectators from all around the world visiting Singapore just to attend the race, calling it a sign that “we have emerged from the pandemic and are open for business.

On Sunday, some photos went viral on social media showing President Marcos; his son, Ilocos Norte Rep. Sandro Marcos; and his cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, en route to Singapore days after Super Typhoon Karding battered parts of Luzon early last week. House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro urged the Malacañang and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to clarify whether Marcos had used government resources for an “obviously personal, extravagant, and frivolous junket in times of economic hardship.”
