UNITED States President Donald Trump is coming to the Philippines, after all, and in fact staying an extra day. As if our local politics weren’t colorful enough, Trump’s visit is likely to be fodder for talk here. Trump has also traded barbs—or bluffs—with the equally irrepressible Kim Jong Un of North Korea. Meanwhile, Filipinos should see Trump’s visit for more than its entertainment value, however difficult that may be. Does Mr. Trump have anything to say about territory we believe is ours but is denied by China?
