Biden cites enduring US-PH friendship
United States President Joe Biden cited the enduring friendship between the Philippines and the United States as he joined Filipinos in celebrating the country’s 123rd Independence Day.
“The Philippines and the United States share so much history and our people are forever connected through our deep bonds and shared sacrifices of valor, of family, and of friendship,” he said in a video message released by the US embassy in Manila.
Biden noted the valuable contribution of more than four million Filipinos and Filipino-Americans who live in the US, saying they enrich the American character and make their nation stronger and more vibrant.
“I hope that friendship between the Philippines and the United States will continue to be a source of strength for both our nations through all the decades,” added the US President.
