00:00The presidential election is near in America, some are asking if the help of America in the Philippines will change regarding the issue of the West Philippine Sea?
00:08If the President changes, we have the first news, JP Soriano.
00:14Under the leadership of US President Joe Biden, who is a Democrat, the so-called strongest alliance of America and the Philippines was formed regarding the issue of the West Philippine Sea.
00:27The strongest and historic trilateral summits of America, Japan, and the Philippines were held in Washington, D.C.
00:34which were followed by the help of the defense officials of America and the Philippines.
00:39In these assistance, some of the more concrete actions and assistance of America to ensure freedom and safe navigation in the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea were completed.
00:50The US rotational force posture of America is already included under the EDGA or Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.
00:59But in the upcoming election of America where the fight of US Vice President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party and former US President Donald Trump of the Republican Party is close,
01:11is it possible that there will be a change in the position and help of America in the Philippines regarding the issue of China and the West Philippine Sea?
01:20The Ambassador of the Philippines to America, Jose Manuel Romualdez, said that no matter who is the President, there will always be some policies.
01:29As a matter of fact, we do have bipartisan support. Judging from my meetings at the US Congress, we have met with both Republicans and Democrats.
01:41We have a very strong support from both of them, particularly with the challenges that we face right now in our region.
01:46And also, the fact of the matter is, we've had good relations with the United States, whether Republican or Democrat.
01:54There's been a few ups and downs, but nothing significantly bad.
02:01If there is a change, it's just a small one.
02:04It is possible that Harris has a connection with President Bongbong Marcos, who has been arrested several times.
02:13Harris has also personally witnessed the difficulty of some Filipino fishermen who are being stopped by China to cross the West Philippine Sea.
02:22Kamala Harris visited the Philippines and even went to Palawan.
02:27From Kamala Harris' point of view, she has a bigger consciousness on the South China Sea-West Philippine Sea issue.
02:37Donald Trump never mentioned the South China Sea.
02:40In his statements, the competition is there with China, but the US-China competition is not focused on Donald Trump's point of view.
02:55It is focused on general terms.
02:57It is expected that the foreign policy will be the same when it comes to the issue of the West Philippine Sea between Harris and Trump.
03:04The position of the two is clearly different when it comes to immigrants and minorities in America.
03:11Trump has long been advocating the closure of America for illegal immigrants,
03:17while Harris is open to providing assistance to immigrants in a legal way.
03:23Some Filipinos have talked to GMA Integrated News.
03:27The Filipinos are divided in voting in the US elections.
03:31It's like two-thirds Harris and one-third Trump in what's happening in other communities.
03:41But many Filipinos want the President of America to have a fair view of all races.
03:49The fairness to all people.
03:52Because some other people don't like immigrants.
03:57You know.
04:00I think you know what I mean.
04:03In November 5, the US will vote for their next president.
04:08And even if it's not clear who Trump or Harris will win, it will surely have an effect on the whole world, including the Filipinos.
04:15From Olympia in Washington State and for GMA Integrated News, this is the first news, J.P. Soriano reporting.
