Speaking to Manila-based reporters in Bangalore during his five-day state visit, Marcos described India as a "world leader" in the digital space.

"India has a lot to offer in terms of experience, in terms of training, in terms of all of the things that we in the Philippines need to develop our own digital space," he said on Friday, Aug. 8.

He said discussions with Indian officials and business leaders covered AI, information technology, telecommunications, and the construction of additional towers to speed up the country's Common Towers Program.
