Duterte tells US, Australia: Sever our ties if I become president

[Pinoy]

Published April 20, 2016

"Australian, American ambassadors: Shut your mouth."

That is the message of presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte to a pair of ambassadors who have criticized him over his recent remarks about rape that have caused an international firestorm.

The Davao City mayor made the comment on Wednesday, a day after his tirade against Australian Ambassador Amanda Gorely, who had criticized him over controversial comments he made regarding the rape and death in 1989 of an Australian missionary at a Davao prison.

"Rape and murder should never be joked about or trivialised. Violence against women and girls is unacceptable anytime, anywhere," Gorely had said.

United States Ambassador Philip Goldberg had chimed in on the criticism.

"I can only agree with the colleague from the Australian Embassy," Goldberg said in a television interview.

"Any statements by anyone, anywhere that either degrade women or trivialize issues so serious as rape or murder, are not ones that we condone," he added.

But Duterte brushed off the criticism, instead saying the envoys had no business talking to him about Philippine affairs.

"Do not interfere because it's election time," said Duterte, the front-runner in recent presidential preference surveys.

Later, when asked whether his statements could affect relationships with the country's allies, Duterte replied: "That's their problem, not mine."

He added: "I never interfere in their elections. If I become president, go ahead and sever it (ties with the Philippines)."

The Philippines counts the US as its closest ally, a relationship that has grown closer over recent tensions with China over disputed territory.

Australia, meanwhile, has backed the US position on China's excursions into the disputed seas. —Cedric Castillo/JST, GMA News

I'm more afraid of what our country will lose if he is elected president. He needs to learn Diplomacy 101 first.

Duterte openly identifies as a socialist and quite sympathetic to communist rebel group.

His vision is quite vague, actually. But his primary focus is on crime and drug reduction (promises to suppress criminality in 3-6 months). He's also pushing for a federal-parliamentary form of government.

While his proposal for a federal syst is great, his foreign policies and international outlook as rather narrow, specially in regard to China as his statements are very contradicting.

China will always push that that sea area is their "sovereign territory", thus negotiating with them means we have to dismiss our territorial claims in that area.

I do not know is Duterte is aware of that bit.

China already stepped into our territory and now Duterte wants another talking. A fat hope to accomplish that China would listen in 6-years.

Most likely U.S. influence and interest in the region will also be badly affected once he becomes president.

Honestly I still think he will win this coming election as shown by his soaring popularity.

I just hope that if he does, he will perform his duties very carefully and deliver the change that he promised though I still have doubt that he can but I will still be keeping an eye on him and hoping for the best for our country.

Now even Pinoy realizes that USA is going to sacrifice them like a pawn. But first the USA marines will take their share of Filipina by brute force.

He should not forget national defense when he plans to increase the internal security capabilities of the country and be wary of China because they always double-speak when they announce something when it comes to the SCS disputes.

He should also reduce swearing when making speeches, not everyone is comfortable with it.

And oh, just ignore the CCs that will post here.

We have a very unforgettable long history with the USA both soldiers died together in combat against, China ,Vietcong and Japan. For 50 yrs of colonization most of us are already adapting American cultures some said we are the unofficial part of USA. and we almost became a state. So if China declare war on the Philippines ,she's declaring war also with uncle sam.

I hope not because i will vote for him. We badly needed him in our domestic issues like crime and corruption should he's neutral in WPS that would be acceptable to me and let the next admin to tackle the external issues

Forget about it cossack, the national defence is not his priority he's NPA himself but still i believe that the China's treachery will eventually change his mind . On the other hand he is the commander in chief of the whole AFP , these also interest me how he would convince the communist to lay down their arms

Talk as you know a thing? If American is so popular, Pinoy wouldn't have kick US out of Subic Bay on 1992. The American constant abuse of local Pinoy are well known. Most of the US perpetrator are protected by US military law in Philippine.

Faking as Pinoy and talking trash, more or less show your agenda.

Emotions should never be on top of ones head. This only shows that he can endanger the country's relationship with other countries especially our allies. I'd rather vote for Grace Poe.

As a commie china propagandist hats off to you very well researched , however what you know about us us half baked being gullible is very dangerous and it can lose your war.

We didn't kick out the US out of Subic it so happened that the leased has ended and our senatong rejected the extension or ratification of treaty , but thanks to China bullying they are back.

see by yourself , we are on the top 1 spot.

It's like saying you almost lost your virginity.

If PN decide to start a war with China, the US will not come in. At most they will sell you ancient weapons and try harder to degrade China in the media.

Sounds like a Filipino Trump, I doubt he'll win.

.

It was a combination of things good and bad.. Also keep in mind Mt Pinatubo erupted in June 1991 and the entire base was covered in over a foot of ash...wrecking lots of stuff. By 1992 we were out.

As if I talk trash? If US is popular among Pinoy, they would have extend US stay in cubic bay rather than not extending it.
And some Pinoy claim want to be another state of US? Lol.. If so Philipine will be the lowest among all in US.

The US still want to continue the lease and offer Pinoy a good deal but the local were just enough of American abuse and contempt.

American are simply some of the worst human in that time.
