In May 2022, as soon as the news of the victory in the Philippine presidential election was announced, the White House asked the country's ambassador to the United States.

"The sooner you call, the more conducive to the relationship between our two countries," the Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez recalled in an interview.Romualdez said that two days after the election, Biden called Macco from the Air Force No. 1, and the two sides conducted a 10 -minute friendly exchanges, which "really laid the tone for our relationship with the United States."

From the perspective of the United States, the tone at that time needed to change urgently.Matakus's predecessor Duterte has been alienated from China and repeatedly questioned the Southeast Asian countries with the United States for decades.

However, even U.S. officials were surprised by the degree of Macco for about two years, and the Philippines was closer to the United States.An official said that although Magakus did not want to be regarded as a pawn of the United States, he was disappointed with China's actions in the South China Sea and completely agreed to strengthen the relationship with Washington.

Patt. Macs bluntly counterattack China.He is committed to emphasizing the conflict between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, which has made him a dazzling star among the United States and his allies.He was rarely invited to speak in the Australian Parliament and delivered a keynote speech in Shangri -La dialogue on Friday.The Shangri -La dialogue is an annual security conference held in Singapore, and the defense ministers of the United States, China and other countries will gather together.

"You know, I can feel this in Washington," Romualdez said. "He is indeed the hottest leader in the world and the United States."

Nearly 40 years ago, after Matcus's father was kicked off, his family had been rejected.Western countries welcoming Pumioz is a change worthy of attention.Some observers initially thought that Magaks would hate the Americans, because in the 1986 Philippine Political Movement ended his father's dictatorship, the United States promoted his family to Hawaii.

Bynden made a phone call with Marcos in May 2022. Soon then, US Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense visited the Philippines with high profile.In September of the same year, Biden met with Marco during the UN General Assembly. Two months later, the US Vice President also appeared in Manila.

Less than six months after taking office, Parathon has almost completed Manila's comprehensive reform of the US policy -and then includes policy on China.Soon after, he provided the U.S. Department of Defense with the other party's dreams: four new bases were added to the Philippines, three of which were close to Taiwan.
