Products from the US will have no longer tax. But products that are from here imported to the US will have addition 19% tariff. While it's only 1% discount and we want more. The delegation together with our president shouldn't went there and just had a phone call just like the leader of Indonesia that he has called Trump and able to lessen the tariffs imposed to their country and I think from 32% it became 19% as well.

Trump is praising PBBM for being a tough negotiator, but how did he become tough when Trump managed to pull off a no-tariff for US goods? I consider that an insult. Imagine no tariff for US goods, and the Philippines only managed to lessen the tariff by 1%.

No one in their right mind will call this a fair deal. This is the US abusing its ally, so the Philippines should not expect help from the US in case China attacks the Philippines. Filipinos now have doubts about Trump, he showed his true colors for the Philippines.

Exactly. Some people especially analyst consider a lot of factor to justify that this is a fair deal because they don’t know how dumb the current president of the Philippines.

Marcos is a weak president that doesn’t his own stand. He spend billions of budget on flood control that goes to waste along with his many promises that nothing materialized despite his administration add more tax again to the citizens.

It’s ironic about this dumb president about 1% discount in exchange to free of tariffs on US goods while the citizen itself is paying a lot of taxes on local goods due to fuckin EVAT.
