Biden congratulates Marcos, seeks stronger US-PH ties

US President Joe Biden has spoken with presumptive president Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. after
the late dictator's son swept the May 9 polls in a landslide, according to partial unofficial results, the
White House said Thursday.

"President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines
to congratulate him on his election. President Biden underscored that he looks forward to working with
the President-elect to continue strengthening the U.S.-Philippine Alliance while expanding bilateral
cooperation on a wide range of issues, including the fight against COVID-19, addressing the climate
crisis, promoting broad-based economic growth, and respect for human right," a White House
statement said. Marcos spokesman Atty. Vic Rodriguez said the Philippines' long-time relationship with
the United States will be better but noted the country "will not be exclusive to anyone." "The interest of
the Filipino people and the national interest comes first and it will never be compromised especially our
territorial integrity," he said in an ANC interview.
