Senator Imee Marcos warned of potential changes in U.S. policies towards the Philippines, particularly in immigration, investments, and defense, as the U.S. presidential elections approach. She emphasized the need for the Philippines to prepare for these shifts. Marcos highlighted concerns that stricter U.S. immigration policies could lead to deportations of undocumented Filipinos. She also noted that the Philippines has been missing out on foreign investments compared to other Southeast Asian countries. In defense matters, Marcos questioned whether the next U.S. president would continue current military support and urged the Philippines to strengthen its own defense capabilities. The U.S. presidential election is set for November 5.
