Wonder what the average person over there thinks of this guy
?
My Filipino friends and relatives say Duterte is still popular due to his war on drugs and druggies. And many would rather bow to China than stand up to China, although I must say that few Filipinos seem to recognize that the resources involved could make a big difference in how the RP does economically. Nor do they, I think, recognize how they would fare as China’s dog, compared to being “America’s dog”, in the long run.
