During a palace press conference on Monday (August 12), Presidential Protocol Chief Reichel Quiñones said the Filipino athletes will arrive in Manila on Tuesday afternoon (August 13) and will be received by their families.
“They will be received at the Maharlika Air Force Base by their families, and only by their families, because the president wants to make sure it is a private welcome,” Quiñones said.
The athletes then proceed to the Malacañang Palace, where they are received by Marcos and the First Lady.
