President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to meet the country’s representatives to the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday in Malacañang.
The President will hold a meet and greet with the Filipino Olympians in the President’s Hall, following their heroes’ welcome at the Palace last week.
The full list of attendees is not yet confirmed, but Filipina gymnast Levy-Jung Ruivivar posted on Instagram that she is on her way to Manila to meet Mr. Marcos.
“Heading to Manila to meet the President,” Ruivivar wrote.
“What an honor. Thank you to the President and his office for making this dream come true. Can’t wait to see everyone,” she added.
The earlier welcome ceremony has been surrounded by issues after gymnasts Aleah Finnegan and Emma Malabuyo posted on social media they were unaware of the August 13 welcoming ceremony in Malacañang.
The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) on Thursday clarified that all Filipino Olympians were invited. Assistant Secretary Dale de Vera explained that invitations were extended but not directly by Malacañang, adding that both gymnasts had already moved on to their next competitions.
