Marcos watching F1 race in SG brought up in travel budget deliberations | ABS-CBN News

The attendance of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. in the 2023 Formula One (F1) Singapore Grand Prix was brought up in the plenary deliberations for the 2024 General Appropriations Act at the House of Representatives on Tuesday, September 26.

In his interpellation, Kabataan party-list Rep. Raoul Manuel sought details of the travel expenses and proposed travel budget of the Office of the President (OP), at one point asking if Marcos intends to also attend 2024 edition of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix.

ACT-CIS Rep. Erwin Tulfo, former Social Welfare Secretary and sponsor of the OP's budget, did not give a direct answer but pointed out that Marcos attended the F1 race in September "upon invitation from a group."

First Lady Liza Marcos, who accompanied the President in Singapore, earlier said that F1 "is a global sport that provides opportunities for networking with a diverse range of people — including political figures, celebrities, and business leaders."

It's very obvious that Cong Manuel had done his research while the rest on the other side were struggling on how Cong Tulfo will answer the questions being throwned by Cong Manuel. That's very humiliating on Cong Tulfo's side. Next time Mr Tulfo, do some research ahead of time. That's very disappointing.

[rhakinishu]

Tanong lng NPA ba talaga problema sa bansa ntn? o mga POLITIKONG pulpul na gahaman sa pera ng bayan? Ngayon

[jazz-hk]

umaalingasaw na ang baho, yong mga bangaw hindi magkandaugaga sa pagtatakip pero kahit papano ay may isang tinig na narinig. mabuhay ang mga taong tunay na lumalaban sa katiwalian. saludo kami sa inyo gaano man kau kaliit.

[JeEs]

I'm glad that Cong. Manuel is there to do the actual function of the house - check and balances and not just a rubber stamp of the President and his minions.

[MsPinkCrusader]

Mahiya kayo diyan sa Admin, di niyo kinaya ang nag-iisang Cong Manuel. Yan dapat ang tumatakbo sa politika, hindi yung alam natin pera at kapangyarihan lang ang habol. Talamak na mga pawang mga kawatan lang ang iba

[MsPinkCrusader]

Galing mo Raoul Manuel, di nsayang boto ng sambayanan sa iyo. You are asking the right questions

[epichtsworks]

Tapos tatawagin ng mga DDS SKWATERS na NPA si Cong. Manuel 😂

[arielsanpedro]

Garin pls wait for your time to speak.Aligaga ka sa pagtulong kay Erwin Tulfo.Basic questions lang

[jeffreytimbang]

Raoul Manuel could be a Game changer in Modern Politics kung kailan ang daming corrupt at halos lahat gusting dumukot sa kaban ng Bayan. May He prevail in all his endeavors.

[pinoyleonardo]

This young guy has the guts and seems one of the few!

[mannydel]

Notice how Cong. Manuel is just all on his own while behind Cong. Tulfo, everyone behind him is scrambling to help him answer Cong. Manuel’s questions. 😂

[honeygracearzadon]

To be honest with you I am beginning to like Mr Raoul Manuel. You're on the right track Sir. ❤

[kimbrieva]

671m pra sa travel pano buong angkan sinasama, yes travel goals

[ginbulag]

'Natupad na ang pangarap ko to travel around the world gamit ang tax payers money, ang pangarap n'yo'y katangahan n'yo, dahil nabudol ko kayo". 🇵🇭🤭🙄🤔😥🤨😤🇵🇭

[AlinMalinao-ot]

Galing magtanung at tama good job sir manuel

[erlindacastillo]

Thank you Cong Manuel sa mga tanong na nailabas ni Cong Erwin Tulfo ang katotohanang sagot!!! Good job!!

[griffin]

Sana lang may marating yang milyones na travel expenses na yan. Kawawa mga tao bayad ng bayad ng tax, mahal pa mga bilihin. Haisst!

[kerwintorregrosa]

people attending the F1 are not there to network or meet people they are there for the race.

[MsPinkCrusader]

Mahiya ako kay tulfo, hahahaa. Defending the kawatan through and through

[milhouse]

Cong Manuel, the rest of the Makabayan bloc, and Cong Edcel Lagman are Congress’ last and only hope.
