Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered local authorities to reach out to Singapore and Malaysia where he said a former lawmaker may be hiding aircraft that are among assets Manila has frozen as part of a corruption crackdown.

The leader last week ordered the arrest of former Congressman Zaldy Co and other individuals allegedly tied to a graft scandal involving money meant for flood infrastructure.
