First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos said she enjoyed the Spouses' Program hosted by Indonesian First Lady Iriana Joko Widodo earlier this week.

The Philippine First Lady shared a photo on social media Thursday morning as the First Lady of the Republic of Indonesia hosted the program dedicated to the spouses of ASEAN leaders and other world leaders.

"(I) had a lovely time at the Spouses' Program hosted by Indonesian First Lady Iriana Joko Widodo," Araneta-Marcos said on Instagram.

Reports from local media showed that the Spouse Program, held at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), is one of the 43rd ASEAN Summit series here.

TMII, which reopened in November last year, got a makeover after it opened in 1975. The 33 Indonesian provinces are represented in the expansive 150-hectare park.

Hence, the Indonesian First Lady invited the spouses to experience Indonesia's wealth and cultural variety on this occasion.

Araneta-Marcos witnessed the diversity of every region of Indonesia as she saw a traditional dance performance in Indonesia and a workshop for traditional arts and crafts, all while listening to First Lady Iriana and the spouses of other leaders of other countries explain the culture of Indonesia.
