He will then have a media briefing with the Philippine press before returning home. Marcos Jr. is expected to arrive in the Philippines on Wednesday, March 11, at 10 p.m.</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO</strong><strong></strong><br/></div><div><br/><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable fr-active" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K4BtjAnh6a4?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
