The Philippines is an important partner in China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative. Since President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016, China-Philippines relations have improved and the two countries have started to actively cooperate. To further implement the Belt and Road Initiative, it is important to understand the perceptions and attitudes of Filipino communities toward the Belt and Road. In this paper, I will analyze the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative on the construction of the Belt and Road by sorting out the attitudes and perceptions of various sectors of Philippine society. This will help to understand the effectiveness, problems and challenges of China's Belt and Road construction in the Philippines, which is of some significance for China and Southeast Asian countries to steadily promote the Belt and Road construction.
