Yes its true just because they have the money then they do what they want to do for his own interest to make the Philippines forever there puppet. It is ashame to us to be puppet of this lapdogs american people. I hope that someday philippines will be an independent foreign policy. Which we can take it for better progress of our country.
The narco-terror and the fortunes of the drug lords are created by Prohibition. How can you live in 2016 and not understand such basic economic facts?
The Philippines can be America's lap dog, as it was Spain's before, or it can be China's.
You don't get to be a Big Dog until you learn to respect the rule of law and stop the populist cheerleading for extrajudicial mass murder.
Pro tip: If anyone can surpass the cruelty of the Imperial Japanese, it's the Chinese PLA.
Now be a good lap dog and stop biting the hand that feeds you.
Yeah? Weren't US the lap dog of China? Too bad the huge guys are just beaten by the Chinese. We don't expect you to understand economic colonization because you were all under them without realizing it.
Petrodollar hegemony still rules the world, and will endure so long as the US Navy rules the sea, the US Army the land, and the USAF the sky and heavens.
I like how your deflection, which you provide in lieu of an on-point response, fails to even mention the Philippines.
The 1980s called, and want back their "zomg economic colonization" rhetoric, because they already went through that with the whole "zomg the Japanese are buying Pebble Beach and Rockefeller Center" spiel. You must be too young to remember that....
Please stop living in a fantasy world where a poor, backward, internally divided island nation is Entitled to do anything other than be subject to the great powers surrounding it.
Once upon a time, people were grateful to be liberated from the merciless Imperial Japanese, then kept safe from the genocidal Red Army.
Again, you must be too young to remember that.
That early afternoon of October 20, 1944, MacArthur and his party must have indeed looked awe-inspiring and larger than life. Far more than a moment in history, it was a moment of intense human emotion and a promise fulfilled. Indeed, which Filipino has not heard of MacArthur’s immortal words of “I shall return?” With Filipinos and American troops sustaining heavy losses in the war with the Japanese during MacArthur’s absence of over two years, I can only imagine what must have been running through their minds and hearts when MacArthur set foot again on Philippine soil and helped them end the Japanese occupation.
Now let's get back on topic.
Duterte The Headhunter is a savage cannibalistic beast, not a statesman. He uses "drug addict" as a code word to demonize the disenfranchised, derelict, undesirable people least able to raise themselves out of poverty, much less defend themselves from his demagogic rabble-rousing inspired lynch mobs.
He should be ending Prohibition and directing resources to rehabilitate addicts, especially homeless children, not telling everyone it's time to Purge The Weak.
Even worse, he's cozying up to the Butchers of Beijing even as they make the phrase "Filipino Sovereignty" a joke by by building military bases on what used to be lovely coral atolls. I guess he likes the cut of their jib, given how the PLA handled those pro-democracy scumbags at Tienanmen Square.
Duterte wishes to make his country a vassal state of Red China, despite court rulings to the contrary.
