This has been circulating online, and many Filipinos don’t seem impressed with the news. Before the president's visit, the tariff was 20%, and now it's 19%. They're calling it a “significant win,” but for real - is it?

What did Marcos gave to get a 1%? it is not a win but still a lose, Almost all country in the world lose on this. USA is getting the most out of it.
A very brilliant mind of Trump but a disaster to those affected. And this is not the end, He also add 200 USD for entering USA.

1% less on the tariff is a big win got the government. (dogshow) jus the news. But not really big, we were on lower percentage before.
