Philippines’ Marcos congratulates Trump, pins hope on ‘unshakeable alliance’
Marcos said he looked forward to working with Trump “on a wide range of issues that will yield mutual benefits to two nations with deep ties, shared beliefs, common vision, and a long history of working together”.
He added: “I am hopeful that this unshakeable alliance, tested in war and peace, will be a force of good that will blaze a path of prosperity and amity, in the region, and in both sides of the Pacific.”
As the US polling places closed earlier on Wednesday, Filipino ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez said Manila was confident of the future of the partnership.
“For all the speculation on what these elections mean for the Philippines, I can confidently say that the Philippines-US partnership will endure under any US presidency,” Romualdez told a security forum in Manila.
