Duterte: ‘Filipinos may sacrifice a little bit if US break ties with PH’

[Providence]

Pinoy with their current dumb leadership is on a super fast lane to venezeula style economy. US won't even oblige them with as much as a speeding ticket this time.

 

[surya kiran]

sacrifice a bit = south china sea rights. Well, if that is what they want, so be it.

 

[randomradio]

Sure...The US should leave. Take our money with US.

Then once the Philippines begins the same path as Venezuela, Duterte will either be ousted in the next election or turn into a dictator.

Venezuela has no strategic importance, Philippines does. They can give the Chinese direct access to the Pacific Ocean, they don't have that right now.

The US has lost the first island chain to the Chinese.

No clue what the US did to let this happen, but losing Philippines is a very big blow. Whatever idiot move Obama did, he needs to fix it before he leaves or Trump's gonna make it worse.

This is why I pointed long ago why India is working alone with some ASEAN countries like Vietnam to counter the Chinese, and not blindly trusting American strategy which was always doomed to fail. At least now, India can work to help fill the void the US is leaving by working towards some sort of partnership with the Philippines.

You lose an inch to the Chinese, they will take a mile.

Yeah...Like how Venezuela 'survives'. But of course, what do you care ?

It's surviving better than Libya, and Vietnam's thriving these days despite all the "help" rendered by the Americans in the '70s and before.

Libya, Iraq, Egypt, etc, their leaders were once good friends of white americans....
so what?
Only stupid and illiterate will count on white amercians forever.
US is a country based on printing money and war mongering, poisoning land in SEA and making refugees and boat people all around the world.....
Only stupid people will think such fabricated regime governed by war monsters can last forever....
At last, people will go back to their ancestral country, no matter white or white worshippers......
As the Chinese saying on, when the tree is down, monkeys on the tree will all flee away....
No matter how refugees like their host country, sorry, when that war mongering regime is down, all has to go back....

You don't have to worry about it, you got a big brothers neighbor will always help you.

 

[asia2000]

Venezuela's problem is caused by low oil price.

This...

...Was how Venezuela began.

A little bit here...A little bit there...Pretty soon...Empty shelves, rationing...

But we can be sure you do not give a shit to their suffering.

this is all about assassinating alleged drug dealers

china can get into the Pacific no matter what. with or without the Philiphines in the equation. you gotta remember the Philiphines armed forces are a joke material wise.

i say good for the Philiphines let'em do their own thing, they already backstabbed us once over Subic bay why not do it again.

 

[Zsari]

I understand that as a Chinese, you have extreme difficulties in understanding the concept of 'independence'. The bottom line is that if a country want US, it is their right to request for US.

Actually independence is what you would no longer enjoy once you call US for help. You would not just be lectured on but threatened over how you should run your own country every inch of the way, which is what started the entire debacle.

 

[Globenim]

"Free" U.S. regime media mouthpieces fabricated Philipine uprising against "Duterte regime killing his own people", chemical weapons or a travel accident is the next question...

 

[jerry_tan]

He just playing around with China, ones they lower their guard a dagger will stab them on their back. Duterte is underated in strategy

yayayayayayaya. Current situation all points to the contrary

Jose Maria Sison

Lol 1 look at his photo and i could tell he msut be a chinese filipino. Sure enough when i wiki-ed him:

Sison was born on 8 February 1939 in the town of Cabugao, Ilocos Sur in the Philippines, to a prominent landowning family with ancestry from Fujian and with connections to other prominent clans such as the Crisologos, the Sollers, the Serranos, and the Singsons. His uncle was Teófilo Sison, a prominent politician who was convicted in 1946 of having collaborated with the Japanese occupation forces.[4] During his childhood in Ilocos, he talked to his barber about the Hukbalahap activity, and unlike his relatives, attended a public school before entering Ateneo de Manila University and later studying at Colegio de San Juan de Letran.

Sison graduated from the University of the Philippines in 1959 and then studied in Indonesia before returning to the Philippines and becoming a university professor of literature. He joined the Lavaite Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas and was one of the founding members of both the Socialist Party and Movement for the Advancement of Nationalism. In 1964, he co-founded the Kabataang Makabayan, or Patriotic Youth, with Nilo S. Tayag. This organization organized youth against the Vietnam War,Ferdinand Marcos, corrupt politicians, Imperialism, Bureaucrat Capitalism and Feudalism. The organization also spearheaded the studying of Maoism as part of 'the struggle'.

In your dreams Duterte approval rating from Pinoys are staggering 97 percent

Their media is controlled by war mongering machines which are loyal to money, not white people or refugees in US.

US neo-fascist regime is devoid of diplomacy flexibility, hence, they suffer policy rigidity in East Asia. A pointed and burning example being the Philippines.

Duterte simply does not wish to be imprisoned by the US' militarized regional construct and to be used as its hammerhead.

It has little to do with China although China's developmentalist regional governance model might come handy as Duterte crafted his new policies.

The problem is with the US neo-fascist regime and its corporatist media. They seem to have lost the connection with reality and suffer from policy rigidity.
