“And we hope to continue working with you to an even greater extent. The Philippines is very open to any proposals, any suggestions, any ideas that you might have for us to improve the situation here,” he said.
“And that’s something that we would like to do together, but not only bilateral between the US and the Philippines, but also with our multilateral arrangements that we have made around the region,” he added.
