President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday said he had "promising" meetings with Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Marcos said they discussed ways to enhance collaboration between the Philippines and Singapore over the weekend.

He added that the leaders expressed their commitment to addressing shared global challenges.

"Our countries can expect enhanced collaboration on multiple fronts to address common global challenges," Marcos Jr. said.

Last Sunday, Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos watched the Ferrari team clinch the podium at the F1 Grand Prix.

Araneta-Marcos shared some photos at the race on her social media pages.

"Formula 1 is a global sport that provides opportunities for networking with a diverse range of people — including political figures, celebrities, and business leaders. Bravo, Ferrari," Araneta-Marcos said.

Marcos arrived in Singapore on 13 September to participate in the 10th Asian Conference and to watch the F1 finals.

According to the Presidential Communications Office, Marcos returned to Manila after midnight on 18 September.

While his presence at the race in 2022 faced public scrutiny, the President defended it, stating it was an effective way to boost business.
