Chinese President Xi Jinping is welcomed with military honors upon his arrival in Manila on Tuesday, November 20, 2018, for a two-day state visit that is expected to boost relations between the Philippines and China. Xi's plane touched down at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) before noon and was taken straight to his hotel for a brief rest. He will be attending a wreath-laying ceremony at the Rizal Monument in Manila later in the day before meeting President Rodrigo Duterte in Malacanang. PHOTO BY ROGER RANADA
