On April 30, the President of the Philippines departed for a four-day official visit to the United States, expected to yield many agreements on economic cooperation and military enhancement between the two countries.

The plane carrying President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and a high-ranking Philippine delegation took off from Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at 1:30 p.m. local time.
Philippine officials said the visit was aimed at reaffirming the special relationship between the Philippines and the United States, while a senior US official said the relationship was not just about security but also about trade.
Before leaving for the US, Mr. Marcos said he would convey to US President Joe Biden his determination to establish "an even stronger relationship" with the US to "address the concerns of our time," including issues related to the economy.
Marcos's official visit to Washington is the first by a Philippine president to the United States in more than 10 years, and is the latest in a series of high-level meetings the Philippines has held with leaders of the United States and China, powers competing for strategic advantage in the region.
A senior US administration official told Reuters that President Biden and President Marcos will hold talks at the White House on May 1 and are expected to reach agreements on increased trade and military cooperation.
To boost trade ties, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo will soon lead a business delegation to the Philippines, the official said.
