President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, along with a limited delegation, arrived in Cebu, Philippines, on Thursday (7/5/2026) to attend the 48th ASEAN Summit. According to a broadcast by the Philippine government’s Radio Television Malacanang (RTVM), Prabowo was seen wearing a brown outfit complemented by a peci cap and black sunglasses. After descending the aircraft steps, the head of state was immediately welcomed by a Filipino delegation with a bouquet of flowers. While shaking hands with the welcoming delegates, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia was also seen disembarking from the same plane as the president. Bahlil was wearing a suit with sunglasses and promptly moved to the side of the welcoming line. Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya also joined Prabowo’s accompanying delegation. Prabowo then saluted the welcoming troops before proceeding to the vehicle he would board. A Maung MV3 Garuda Limousine, typically used as the presidential state vehicle, picked him up to leave the airport area. It is known that the 48th ASEAN Summit is taking place on 7-8 May 2026. The issues to be discussed at this ASEAN heads of state meeting will focus on the impact of global conflicts on the region, including energy resilience, food, and economic stability in the region.
