How many rich Filipinos have Chinese connections with more to gain?

"America does not control our lives. Enough bullshit," He also repeated his denunciation of Obama as a "son of a whore".

 

I wonder if the Nobel committee can revoke a peace prize.

If they have Chinese connections it's in the drug trade so they won't like him much either

I work with a significant number of Filipinos. Several have said that Duterte has made them afraid to go home to visit family because of the atmosphere in the country. Others have expressed concern about the future of the country if he does indeed turn his back on the United States and cozy up to Russia and China.
