Manila Bulletin
|September 5, 2025
An official from the United States Department of State assured the Philippines that more aid will be coming to the country despite the realignment of official foreign assistance by the second Trump administration.
In a media roundtable at the US Embassy in Manila on Thursday, Sept. 4, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Jonathan Fritz said that the $63 million (approximately P3 billion) in funding announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in July won’t be the last of its kind.
“Look, the announcement that the Secretary made in July is absolutely not going to be the last time that we’re going to announce new assistance to the Philippines,” he said, referring to a funding provided to support the country’s energy security, combat illegal fishing, and develop private sector investments.
