This was disclosed by Philippine Ambassador to Washington Jose Manuel Romualdez in a recent interview over NewsWatch Plus PH.

"So, definitely we're confident that we will take President Trump's word that he will come to the Philippines to visit. And I think it's going to be a good one because as I said, we have a good personal relationship. And I can see that that's going to develop even better and down the road," he said.

Romualdez shared that Trump himself confirmed his interest to visit Manila during a tete-a-tete at the Oval Office after they had lunch with Marcos.
