If Trump were to take office, he would definitely abandon the Philippines and Ukraine. As a businessman, Trump does not want war. In that case, the Philippines would no longer have any utilitarian value to the United States.
As a small country, the Philippines would need to align with a major power. What to do? If Trump were elected, it's very likely that the Philippines would turn to China for support.
Some might say, given the current tensions between the Philippines and China, that seems unlikely, right? No, it's entirely possible!
This is how small Southeast Asian countries operate. Just a few days ago, didn't the Philippines want to apply to join the BRICS countries?
Countries like the Philippines and Cambodia prioritize their interests and are always ready to change their stance based on the situation.
If things go as I predict, with Trump abandoning support for the Philippines and then the Philippines turning to court China, this would greatly benefit the gambling industry. A thaw in policies towards China, leading to visa-free access, could herald a second spring for the Philippine gambling industry.
As for whether domestic policies will allow Chinese to come to the Philippines, that's not important. After all, they are not allowed now, right? It can only be said that, comparatively, it would be better.
