President Marcos Jr. is back in the Philippines from Thailand, where his pitch for economic ties with other countries also achieved another dream—climate action.
In his arrival speech at the Villamor Air Base, the President said that in every discussion he had with his fellow economy leaders from the Asia-Pacific, there was always an expression of concern over climate change.
“After the different problems that we were discussing, the overarching global concern for everyone is and should be global climate change issues,” he said.The President concluded on Saturday his trip to Thailand after participating in the 29th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings and a meet-and-greet with the Filipino community there.
The President blamed developed countries for putting “the world in this situation” and for “changing the weather in the world.” “You start off talking about the economy, you end up somehow, at some point talking about climate change. And so I think there will be a very strong push,” he said.In his pre-departure speech, Marcos said he hoped to “report good progress” once he returned to the country.
