PH-US ties seen to strengthen under Biden presidency

By Prince Golez

Malacañang is optimistic that the Duterte administration would maintain its “close and friendly” relations with the United States under the President-elect Joe Biden.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the statement Wednesday as he congratulated Biden on being sworn in as U.S. 46th president.

“It’s always good news that democracy prevailed and we congratulate again the incoming president and we look forward to having close and friendly relations with the Biden administration,” Roque told CNN Philippines’ The Source.

The Palace official earlier denied that Duterte has lost an important ally in Biden as the latter would likely be against his war on illegal drugs.

Biden’s plan to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants would also benefit Filipinos who are in the US, he added.
