Jose Antonio, The Philippines business partner of Trump, was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as Special Envoy to the US in matters of business ties days before the US Presidential Election. In that conclusion Asia and the rest of the world is looking forward to the next summit or the day that the "Trump of the East" will meet the "Duterte of the West."

A report stated that Southeast Asia has the biggest blow on Trumps Triumph on the Presidential bid. Duterte sees it differently as the Philippine President is firm in saying that the Philippines will have an independent foreign policy without America, said in The Sydney Morning Herald.

It is internationally positioned in the limelight of Duterte's wrangle with the United States in telling President Obama to "got to hell." This was in line when Dirty Rody was asked for his reaction if Obama will ask him about the Extra-Judicial Killing dubbed to his administration on "War Against Drugs."

After that interview, Obama refused to have a conventional talk with the President which stained the relationship between countries. There is a fortuitous angle that the Republican victory will change the way of tides.

Published on Share, Duterte in his trip to Malaysia congratulated Trump. He said in his native Filipino dialect that Trump and he are alike. They curse on small trivial stuff and the two of them both swearword a lot. Duterte also said that Trump might long live and he wants to stop quarreling with the United States.

Trump accused the Philippines as a "state of terrorist" during the election campaign. Days after the election, Trump said Duterte is a smart and a good man leading the country to better lives, said in Times.

The Trump-Duterte is one of the agenda that Asia and the world anticipate. It is expected to further enhance the relationship between the countries in matters of security and trade. The territorial tension in the South China Sea is still at stake despite the Alliance of the Philippines and China in the past month.
