Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte also reassured the public President Benigno Aquino III will push for the welfare of Filipinos when he meets with Obama.
“Wala naman pong problema ang protesta, it is part of the democratic free state we live in. However, tayo bilang Pilipino, kilala tayo sa ating hospitality at magandang pagtanggap natin sa ating bisita,” Valte said on government-run dzRB radio.
She added Filipinos have “always extended hospitality” to any visiting head of state.
Obama is expected to arrive in the Philippines Monday for a two-day visit.
Militants earlier announced plans for protest actions during Obama’s visit, claiming their affiliates abroad are also planning similar actions.
Meanwhile, Valte said Aquino will push for the welfare of Filipinos not only at home but abroad, when he discusses various matters with Obama.
She said Aquino “always makes it a point to push for the welfare of Filipinos in and out of the country.” — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
