00:00The Philippines should not suspend US President Donald Trump from issuing their foreign aid.
00:07Philippine Ambassador to the US, Jose Manuel Romualdez, said in his interview with Super Radio DZBB,
00:13they think this is just a temporary measure.
00:16Trump only implemented the 90-day suspension here to collect the money issued by the United States.
00:22Romualdez added that it is more important for the presence of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region
00:29to remain mutually beneficial for the US and the Philippines.
00:33There should be no need to worry about any changes in this alliance.
00:37According to the Department of Foreign Affairs,
00:39the temporary suspension of US foreign assistance will not affect the Philippines
00:45because the Philippines still has a lot of economic partners.
00:48On the other hand, they are still monitoring the situation
00:51and are already communicating with officials in the United States
00:54on the possible effects of this on the Filipinos.
