United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to accompany President Donald Trump during his visit to the Philippines for the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits.

In a report by Bea Pinlac on "24 Oras Weekend" on Saturday, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez confirmed that Rubio would be traveling to the Philippines with Trump.

Trump is scheduled to arrive in the Philippines on Tuesday, November 17.

The US president's upcoming visit has drawn protests from various groups across the country. On Friday, university students staged a mass walkout from their classes to protest Trump's visit and the controversial Pax Silica initiative.

Other world leaders have already arrived in the Philippines for the ASEAN Summit, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
