"On behalf of the United States, I
congratulate President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on his election as the
Philippines’ next president. We look forward to working with President-elect
Marcos to strengthen the enduring alliance between the United States and the
Philippines," he said in a press statement.
"Our special partnership is rooted in a long
and deeply interwoven history, shared values and interests, and strong
people-to-people ties," he added.
Blinken also noted that Washington D.C. would likewise continue to
cooperate with Manila "to promote respect for human rights and to advance
a free and open, connected, prosperous, secure, and resilient Indo-Pacific
region."
Marcos Jr. is slated to win the presidency with over 31.1 million votes
against Vice President Leni Robredo's 14.8 million votes, based on the
Commission of Elections' partial and unofficial tally from the 98.35 election
returns processed as of May 12.
