PRESIDENTIAL Communications Secretary Dave Gomez confirmed that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s official visit to Canada will push through as scheduled from July 1 to 4, 2026.
The announcement comes as the administration finalizes preparations for the trip, despite ongoing developments and public activities taking place across Metro Manila this week.
According to Gomez, the visit aims to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties between the Philippines and Canada. The President is expected to hold high-level meetings with Canadian government officials, business leaders, and representatives of the Filipino community residing in the country. Key discussions will likely cover trade and investment opportunities, labor cooperation, and regional security concerns.
The official clarified that the trip has been thoroughly planned and coordinated to ensure that it does not disrupt critical government functions at home.
While major events and security operations are ongoing in the capital, the administration assured the public that regular governance and essential services will continue smoothly throughout the President’s absence. Further details on the specific agenda and expected agreements will be released as the departure date draws near.
