"I hope your new mandate will bring renewed optimism and strength to the American people during these challenging times," Duterte said.
Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the US Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.
Duterte said he looks forward to the success of the Trump administration and a shared aspiration for greater peace.
At the November 2017 ASEAN Summit, then-president Trump expressed his fondness for Duterte.
"Tell Rodrigo I like him very much," Trump said, according to former executive secretary Salvador Medialdea.
Duterte expressed support for the convicted criminal in July when Trump was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate.
Speaker Martin Romualdez yesterday also expressed confidence that Trump's victory would lead to deeper US-Philippine ties.
