Albay Rep. Joey Salceda on Friday defended President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. foreign trips amid criticisms over his alleged 'lavish' participation at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland.

In a television interview, Salceda added that Marcos wants to prove to the world that he is a better version of his father, the late former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
