It will be his first engagement with the International body, and his first visit to the US since
becoming the country's leader.

"The UN is where countries of the world congregate to discuss the most pressing challenges
facing our people. Thus, it is important for us to participate in the General Assembly and to
make certain that our voice is heard," Marcos said in his pre-departure speech.
