President Obama departs Manila, Philippines.

President Obama is winging his way back to the White House aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, wrapping up a week-long trip to Asia.

Obama left the Philippines late Monday, eastern time, after a day in which he attended the launch of an electric vehicle project and honored fallen troops with a wreath laying at the Manila American Cemetery.

The Philippines stop capped a week-long trip that also took the president to Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia.

The day-long flight home includes a refueling stop at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska.

Obama is scheduled to return to the White House by 6 p.m. Washington time.
