President Bongbong Marcos on 3 October posted on Facebook photos from his attending the F1 Singapore Grand Prix.

He said, "They say that playing golf is the best way to drum up business, but I say it's Formula 1. What a productive weekend!

'It was fulfilling to have been invited alongside several dignitaries and to have met new business friends who showed that they are ready and willing to invest in the Philippines. Will be sharing more details on this at a later time."

Netizens had criticized Marcos' trip as insensitive and inappropriate especially since many Filipinos are still reeling from the effects of typhoon "Karding."
