(UPDATE) SENATE Committee on Foreign Relations head Sen. Imee Marcos said the Philippines should prepare for the impact of the outcome of the US elections, noting it could trigger rapid and significant shifts on American policies on defense, immigration and investments.
Marcos added that it was yet to be known whether the next US president would push for an expanded military presence in the Philippines and preserve the current defense funding assistance level.
