00:00I will make America great again, Donald Trump promised, while thanking his supporters after winning the presidential election based on media projections.
00:12Trump is only the second in the history of the American presidency to serve two consecutive terms.
00:19But what does the new Trump presidency mean for the Philippines?
00:24J.P. Soriano has a report.
00:27Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason.
00:40And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness.
00:45Along with his family, friends, and supporters, former US President Donald Trump, based on the projections of various US media outlets,
00:55including the Reuters, Trump will be the 47th president of America.
01:01This will truly be the golden age of America, that's what we have to know.
01:07This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.
01:20This is the first time in the history of America that a convicted felon and criminal defendant will be crowned as US President.
01:29Trump is facing a series of cases, but some experts believe that Trump's cases can be discussed.
01:38Vice President Kamala Harris' supporters gathered at Howard University in Washington, D.C., but Harris did not face them.
01:48We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.
01:58Even though it's far from America, Americans in the Philippines are also monitoring the number of votes in Election Watch 2024 organized by the US Embassy.
02:09US Ambassador Mary Kay Carlson believes that nothing will change in the relationship between the Philippines and America in any election result.
02:17I am extremely confident that US-Philippine relations will remain steadfast, will remain steadfast friends and ironclad allies,
02:26as well as partners in prosperity, no matter who wins the election in the United States.
02:31But a political analyst believes that the Filipinos in America will be affected by Trump's return to the Oval Office.
02:38His primary platform is to restrict the US borders and illegal aliens.
02:44According to the Department of Homeland Security, Filipinos are the fifth largest unauthorized immigrant population.
02:52It will reach 350,000 in 2022.
02:57There will be a new wave of restrictions and new policies that will constrain immigration to the United States,
03:10even for those who are already there, especially those who want to migrate to the United States.
03:15So it will be tight.
03:17A Trump presidency will also monitor the economy of the Philippines.
03:23He will allow high taxes to be imported by America.
03:30This is in line with his promise to make America great again by bringing jobs back to America.
03:41J.P. Soriano reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:47Some leaders of other countries have already greeted Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election in America.
03:54Among them is President Marcos, who said he is looking forward to working with Trump
03:59on issues that will bring benefits to the Philippines and America.
04:03French President Emmanuel Macron and other leaders of European countries also congratulated Trump.
