MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez has presented his credentials to US President Donald Trump at the White House as part of diplomatic protocol. The Philippine embassy in Washington posted in its Twitter account a photo of Romualdez and Trump during their meeting last Nov. 29. Earlier, Romualdez said the bond between the Philippines and the US is “unbreakable” despite previous diplomatic irritants. Any other militaries, including that of China, will have to struggle to reach the level of that treaty alliance, he said. During his visit to the Philippines last month for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit, Trump had nothing but praises for Duterte.
