ASEAN 2026: Showcasing readiness without disruption

Tempo

|

June 03, 2025

As the Philippines prepares to host the ASEAN Summits in 2026, the nation stands at an important crossroads.

The opportunity to welcome regional leaders and showcase our country on the international stage must be met with careful planning, forward-thinking execution, and above all, sensitivity to the daily realities of millions of Filipinos.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s latest directive to suspend plans for a full-scale rehabilitation or reconstruction of EDSA is a prudent and timely decision. While the iconic thoroughfare is long overdue for structural and aesthetic improvements, embarking on an ambitious overhaul just before a high stakes international event risks creating more problems than solutions. The President's decision underscores the need for less disruptive alternatives that still meet the goals of readiness, security, and presentability.
