US, PH alliance more than rock-solid – Blinken

(UPDATE) US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday assured President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that the alliance between Washington and Manila was “more than rock-solid” and that it was President Joe Biden’s “absolute priority.”

Blinken, who arrived in Manila late Monday after a stop in South Korea, reaffirmed this commitment during a courtesy call on Marcos in Malacañang.
