MANILA, Philippines — Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo said he tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend and, therefore, will not be able to attend the 55th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings this week. 

 

The AMM will be held until August 6 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It would have been Manalo’s first ASEAN engagement since taking the post as the country’s top diplomat. 

 

"I have also sent regrets to Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister and this year’s AMM Chair, His Excellency, Prak Sokhonn,” Manalo said.
