so much for pinoy pride Duterte kissed the wrong butt.
Duterte plays both sides- China and the U.S. He also goes back on his word all the time. He said he would cancel the Visiting Forces Agreement with the U.S., and he did in January. It would have taken effect in June, but then he reversed the cancellation. I really don't understand how his mind works. He's senile.
Yeah, Duterte is useless. He said it himself in his latest State of the Nation speech. But regardless, the whole area the Philippines claims in claimed by all the other countries, not just China. China is just the most powerful. I mean, they're heavily involved in all ASEAN countries. Including yours. They're testing their vaccine on Indonesians right now
What corelation with vaccine test???
We dont take a s**t about our sovereignty
Dont mix sovereignty with other agenda period!
Because I recall you bragging that you don't depend on China and don't need a vaccine. So it's pretty hilarious that China is testing their vaccine on Indonesians. I also remember when you bragged about having no Covid cases.

PH won’t join other navies in South China Sea drills
Quote:
Citing an order by President Rodrigo Duterte, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Monday (Aug. 3) said that the Philippines would not join the navies of other countries, like the United States, in maritime drills in the South China Sea for fear of raising tension in the area.
“President Rodrigo Duterte has a standing order to us, to me, that we should not involve ourselves in naval exercises in the South China Sea except our national waters, the 12-mile distance from our shores,” the defense chief said at an online press briefing.
“We cannot exercise with them in the South China Sea,” said Lorenzana.
“If one country’s action is considered as belligerent, another tension will normally rise, so I hope that all the parties in this exercise will have, will work on their actions there, to exercise prudence and carefulness so that there will be no miscalculations that could further increase the tension,” he said.
The United States, a long-time ally of the Philippines, has sent its nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the South China Sea in recent weeks, conducting naval exercises and freedom of navigation operations.
Duterte recently drew flak for saying that he was “inutile” and “cannot do anything” to counter China’s aggression in the South China Sea, virtually raising the white flag in surrender of Philippine sovereignty in Scarborough Shoal which the President said was already “occupied” by China.
Duterte, instead, said the Philippines should just pursue “diplomatic endeavors.” He did not elaborate on that.
