President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sent his well wishes to soon-to-be US president-elect Donald Trump of the Republican party, who is projected to win a fresh mandate from the American people in the 2024 Elections.
Below is the full statement of President Marcos:
President Trump has won, and the American people triumphed, and I congratulate them for their victory in an exercise, which showed the world the strength of American values.
We look forward to working with President 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.
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.
This is a durable partnership the Philippines is fully committed to because it is founded on the ideals we share: freedom and democracy.
I have personally met President Trump as a young man, so I know that his robust leadership will result in a better future for all of us.
Congratulations, President Trump!
