I believe Philippine-us relation will be restored now and a new golden age will began.

I seriously hope, I know that the relationships with other world countries will get far, far better in a next few years. People are expecting something great from Donald Trump because he's something completely different in the American history.

He will be ineffective, imo.

He will disappoint his ardent supporters, because he won't be able to follow through with his insane promises.

I think duterte and trump know that they have the same thinking how to handle people. That's why duterte wants to bring back the us-ph relation because of trump.

This man is crazy. Duterte is such a dictator who can not stop the drug by using human right law. Instead of that, he decides to kill anyone who is claimed to have the drug. This is absolutely wrong. I do not think Trump will cooperate with this man. Trump is a wise person

I think that new President Trump will be open to good and friendly relationships from all countries. I would rather the United States have positive relations than negative relations with powerful countries that are seen as "enemies", such as Russia. This makes it less likely that a major war would start, which was what people were afraid of if Clinton would have been elected. I am not sure if Trump will meet with the Philippines' President Duterte, but it will be interesting to keep track of.

I hope this event would give a positive effect to the US-Philippines relationship. Because we all know that right now, there is already a gap between the relationship of Philippines and United States as clearly presented in the news. I'm looking forward that the victory of Trump will bring back the strong bond of the two nations. Because for me, the good relationship of US to the Philippines is really an important thing to consider especially that it is a fact that Americans has a big contribution to our country.

I heard President Trumps victory speech and I am convince that he is for the common good. He offer reconcilliation and unity towards a better America. All his crazyness and controversies during election is I think just for a show, to attract media attention.

Also I hope a US - PH relations will be restored since both his now on new administration for another 6 years.

Duterte's decision to get the Philippines-USA relationship with Trump now as president I think is a good decision. I do hope that they change USA and Philippines for the better and I also hope that trump helps in stopping the World War that might happen between USA and China. For that to happen, trump must have good relations with China and it's allied countries for all to live a peaceful life.

I believe the emsngence of trump will bring the relationship between Philippians and american to be stronger
