HIS EXCELLENCY
BARACK OBAMA
President
United States of America
Dear President Obama,
Allow me to extend my heartfelt congratulations on your re-election.
Four years ago, your message of hope resonated with the American people and the world, marking the beginning of the long road back for one of the world’s greatest countries. Today, the American people have given you a new mandate to stay the course along the direction that you have set for your country.
I am confident that in your second term, you will continue to harness the voices and ideas of your citizens, and empower them further as you move the United States of America forward.
In our encounters, it has been easy for us to understand each other given the common set of aspirations we have for our peoples–fairness and renewed prosperity. My administration is determined to deepen the cooperation between our nations in your second term. As a treaty ally and strategic partner of America, my country looks forward to seeing your administration achieve even greater success in the years to come.
My best wishes to you, the First Lady, your children, and the American people.
Sincerely,
(Sgd.) BENIGNO S. AQUINO III
