The relationship of the Republic of the Philippines and United States according to what I’ve read
they’re relationship has historically been strong. And they have always maintained close
economic ties. The Philippines is working to diversity its security interests away on the United
States. Duterte was the first Filipino leader to speak publicly about the issue used by the US
government in the Filipino nation. Because of this, Duterte was praised by his allies. Duterte
seem ready to improve with his relationship with the US government.

second, The relationship between The Republic of the Philippines and China we all know that
China is a very powerful country specially on their military track. And we all know that they had
a conflict regarding to South China Sea as their property. Attacking our coastguards and
threatening us whenever someone cross their so called property. But Duterte said China can
relax. He will not go to war with china. Duterte was trying to maintain the balance of the
geopolitical situation there. And Duterte said that he did not intend to engage in a military
build-up.

The relationship between these two countries China and US we all know that these two
countries has the two largest economy groups in today’s world. According to what I’ve read US
has been dominating the world’s economy as the only superpower after World war III. These
relationship of these two countries is strong. They will continue to benefit with each other.
Trades between these two countries will increase more and create more great opportunities
when it come to business.

For the next 10 years I hope our country was having a good relationship between the countries,
most especially with china.
