Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emphasizes the unity of the Asia-Pacific region in the face of 'profound uncertainty' during his opening address to the 48th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Cebu on May 8, 2026. The meeting of the 11-member association is expected to focus largely on finding solutions to the Middle Eastern crisis, which has caused fuel and food prices to soar in the region.
