00:00There is no official invitation to the world leaders for the inauguration of the incoming U.S. President Donald Trump on January 20.

00:07Our ambassador to the Philippines, whom Trump has already talked to,

00:11talked about the relationship of the Filipinos in America with the appointment of Ivan Mayrena.

00:22This meeting will only last for a few days and will be repeated.

00:24Donald Trump, the negotiating and former TV host, will once again be the President of the United States on January 20.

00:30There is no official invitation for the world leaders of the State Department of the United States,

00:34which is contrary to tradition and because of the issue of security,

00:37to the Philippine Ambassador to the U.S., Jose Manuel Romualdez.

00:41But Trump personally invited Chinese President Xi Jinping and Hungarian President Viktor Orban.

00:46It's always been a practice that they don't invite the head of state.

00:49There is a note verbal that we received that only the representatives in Washington, D.C. will represent their governments.

00:58Romualdez will be the Philippine ambassador, even though Trump has already talked to them in a golf club in Florida.

01:04We love the Filipinos. We love Filipinos. His words are very cordial.

01:10But it's not clear how far those words will go when Trump fulfills the promise of the campaign

01:16to hunt and deport millions of illegal immigrants to the United States,

01:20which Trump blames for the lack of work for the Americans.

01:23In Romualdez's claim, up to 350,000 illegal Filipinos will remain in the U.S. or TNT or Tago ng Tago.

01:31But based on the information of the law enforcement agencies in the United States,

01:35they will prioritize those with criminal records or those involved in terrorism.

01:39Even now, in November, the Philippine TNT was established to facilitate the legalization of their status.

01:45Some Philippine immigration lawyers are voluntarily helping them.

01:49If you had filed already at this time and let's say the immigration accepted you, you have a basis for staying.

01:57If you will do that now, you really don't have time. You're considered illegal.

02:02Romualdez's concern is if there are people who are addicted to drugs and will go to work where they might be abused,

02:09or the Americans will not marry them even though they are hurting or being abused.

02:14He would rather voluntarily leave first and go through the legal process of applying

02:18instead of being deported and permanently banned in the United States.

02:22For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meyrina, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
