MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr would be "welcome" to the United States given his diplomatic immunity as a head of state, a top Washington diplomat pointed out on Thursday (June 9).

"The fact is, when you're a head of state, you have immunity in all circumstances and are welcome to the United States in your official role," US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman told reporters in a roundtable discussion in Pasay City when asked on the matter.
