“The President’s visit there is to inaugurate, visit, and showcase the Philippine pavilion at the upcoming World Expo in Osaka 2025,” she added in Filipino. “It features, of course, our rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes. This is part of our efforts to further promote tourism in the country.”
