October 8, 2024

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos, together with members of the Philippine delegation, meet with the Filipino community in Laos on the eve of his participation in the back-to-back 44th and 45th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summits and Related Summits.

Approximately 400 overseas Filipino workers welcome the President during his inaugural visit to Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), where they showcase the vibrant talents of the Filipino community in a program at the Latsavong Wanda Vista in Vientiane.

Filipinos in Laos are highly regarded for their immense contributions to Lao PDR, particularly in the fields of education and construction due to their unmatched dedication, professionalism and grit.

To date, an estimated 2,000 Filipinos reside in Laos, mostly employed as professionals or skilled workers, with some working as lawyers, accountants, engineers and in hospitality services.
