Marcos meets Trump, Biden at the Vatican

In photos shared by the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), Marcos was seen having a conversation with the two US leaders at St. Peter's Square following the funeral mass.

Meanwhile, an X video uploaded by GMA Integrated News showed President Marcos and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos exchanging pleasantries with former president Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden.

The PCO has yet to release information as to what the leaders talked about during their chance encounter.

The President arrived at the Vatican for the Pope's Funeral on Friday, April 25. Pope Francis died on April 21 after suffering a stroke and cardiac arrest. He was 81.

In an interview with GMA Integrated News, the First Lady, who joined the Chief Executive on this trip, said she felt she was "blessed by God" when she met the "humble and kind" pontiff.

Meanwhile, the chance meeting with Trump on Saturday came months after President Marcos expressed his willingness to talk to him about the 17-percent reciprocal tariff the US imposed on the Philippines.
