The Phillipines: Once was Americas bitch, now it's China's bitch. Be careful what you wish for because the former definitely treated you better than than the latter ever will. It's like watching a child throwing their toys out of the pram.
Just another high ranked member of this forum who obviously have no idea of what he is saying. Americans are only treating us good because of the resources that they get from our country. But they never promised that they will protect us when there's a war. Duterte chose China and Russia to avoid war and to improve our economy, not to become it's bitch. Just take a look at America's economy and you'll be shocked by the amount of debt that they have. SMH.
Oh sure, the grass is always greener on the other side.
Please, tell us more about the "resources" the USA gets from .ph.
Yes we get nurses and maids, but they are paid and remit that money back home. Do you think Red China will pay you as well, or let you freely remit your yuan?
So that leaves us with what, pili nuts?
Granted, pili nuts are very delicious but that's not why General MacArther returned and set you free from your Japanese conquerors.
The USA could have just kept the Philippines as its territory and renamed it New Hawaii. The blood and treasure we spent would justify that.
But we gave .ph sovereignty. Twice.
And we have a mutual defense pact that is the legacy of SEATO.
In other words, yes we did promise to protect you.
That's why the sailors on the USS Decatur are risking their lives provoking Red China by poking the Dragon right in the eye.
Please, be more pouty, entitled, and ungrateful and bite the hand that feed you even harder. We'll make an American of you yet!
