The envoy shared some photos of their weekend getaway on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Nov. 3, the last day of the “Undas” vacation in the Philippines.
“Wonderful week end away with the family in Siquijor,” she wrote. “So privileged to be working in this beautiful country.”
The whole country enjoyed a long weekend from lunchtime of Thursday, Oct. 31 until Sunday, Nov. 3.
She posted photos of the resort and beach where they stayed at, with two of them seemingly showing Beaufils and her children.
Siquijor is known for its white sandy beaches that cover over 102 kilometers of shoreline. There are also mangroves and marine sanctuaries around the island.
Known around the country for its healing art, the island is also famous for its “agimat (amulet)” and “gayuma (potion),” as well as being the center of mystic power and black magic.
