MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. on Saturday again called for support for the Philippines’ bid to join the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) during this year’s first Vin d’Honneur at the Malacañan Palace. 

The Philippines is vying for a non-permanent seat in the UNSC for the term 2027-2028. The Security Council is primarily responsible for maintaining international peace and security.

Marcos likewise said that the country’s bid is in line with the view that multilateralism must be strengthened through reforming the Security Council and revitalizing the General Assembly.
