First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos graced La Fiesta 2026, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines’ (La Cámara) key event at Grand Hyatt Manila that spotlighted the stronger regional ties and Spanish-Filipino business partnerships.

The gathering brought together leaders and stakeholders from Spain and the Philippines, with a focus on fostering regional connections and expanding economic cooperation.

“La Fiesta 2026 brought together leaders and partners from Spain and the Philippines, all working toward stronger connections and shared opportunities. Grateful to be in the company of those who continue to move this meaningful work forward in their own ways. Muchas gracias!” Mrs. wrote on her Facebook page.
