He said he was also “satisfied” and “happy” with the results of the trip.

The President met with executives from several American firms such as P&G, World Bank; and some state leaders including US President Joe Biden, and Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

He also met with the Filipino community in the US.

The President departed the US at around 2 a.m. on Sept. 24, Saturday, New York time.
