President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to strengthening the longstanding alliance between the Philippines and the United States.

On Tuesday morning, President Marcos extended his congratulations to US President-elect Donald Trump during a “productive congratulatory call.”

Speaking on the sidelines of the aid distribution event in Catanduanes, President Marcos reflected on his conversation with Trump, which touched on fond memories of his mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos.

“Naalala naman niya ang Pilipinas. Ang kaibigan niya talaga mother ko. Kilalang-kilala niya ‘yung mother ko. Kinukumusta niya si — ‘how is Imelda?’ Sabi ko, binabati ka nga,” President Marcos told reporters.

“Patuloy naming pinag-usapan ang samahan — the alliance between the United States and the Philippines. And I expressed to him our continuing desire to strengthen that relationship between our two countries, which is a relationship that is as deep as can possibly be because it has been for a very long time,” he added.

During the call, the two leaders discussed the deep-rooted alliance between the US and the Philippines.

The President also highlighted their discussion about Filipino voters in the US who supported Trump.

“It was a very friendly call, very productive. And I am glad that I was able to do it and I think President-elect Trump was also happy to hear from the Philippines,” he said. | PND

as the "devil comet," will be positioned close to the sun during the April 8 total solar eclipse. Some photographers also predict that the volcanic comet may be visible to the naked eye, especially if it blows its top before the big event.

The explosive "devil comet" could rear its green-tinged, hornless head during the total solar eclipse on April 8. The city-size comet, which is currently racing toward Earth, may show up in photos of the rare astronomical event. And if it erupts before totality — the phase of the eclipse when the sun is completely blocked — the comet could also be visible to the naked eye, one expert claims.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks (12P), also known as the devil comet, is a 10.5-mile-wide (17 kilometers) comet that circles the sun on a highly elliptical orbit once roughly every 71 years. 12P is a cryovolcanic, or ice volcano, comet. That means it occasionally erupts when radiation from the sun cracks open its icy shell, or nucleus, allowing it to shoot a combination of ice and gas, known as cryomagma, from its frosty innards into space. When this happens, the cryomagma expands the comet's coma — the cloud of gas and dust around a comet's nucleus — making it appear much brighter for the next few days.

Last July, astronomers watched 12P blow its top for the first time in 69 years, and ever since, it has erupted reasonably frequently. During 12P's early eruptions, the comet's expanded coma grew lopsided. That made it look like it had horns, leading to its demonic nickname. However, during more-recent eruptions, these horns have been absent. Recent photos of the comet also show that it gives off green light, which is caused by high levels of dicarbon in its coma and tail.
