Marcos affirms importance of Philippine-US alliance amid regional ‘upheavals’

MANILA, 22 November 2022, (TON): The Philippines’ partnership with the US has grown more important in the face of upheavals in the region, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said as Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to Manila on matters related to the disputed South China Sea.

Harris was on a three-day trip to the Southeast Asian country that included a stop on the Philippine islands on the edge of the South China Sea.

She is the highest-ranking American official to visit the Southeast Asian country since Marcos took office earlier this year.
