We have some Freepers that brag about being in the Phillipines and receiving their SS and retirement funds from the US as things are relatively cheaper there, they can live very well. Watch for banking and other pressures to be placed on Americans living and retired there.

Duterte is pissed because we criticized his treatment of a detracting Phillipine senator there so he wants to “show us”! He’s read incorrectly into the political situation in America, thinking that Trump is weak and on the ropes. He’s made a big mistake as I’ve read his military is very much against his actions. Phillipino’s generally like the US so Duterte is isolating himself, like so many crazy strong men do. He can’t run a multi Island nation the way a dictator can run a land locked nation so look for him to push so hard that larger islands decide to break from his grip. China may look to exploit so we’d better be ready to blockade and keep the Chinese out while the Phillipinos sort things out.
