Duterte also said this in his annual State of the Nation Address:
Duterte also reiterated that he would not confront China over its South China Sea claims, saying diplomacy was the best approach because the alternative was to go to war and he could not afford to do that.
He said, “China is claiming [the West Philippine Sea], we are claiming it. China has the arms, we do not … So it’s simple as that. They are in possession of the property.”
Give us a naval base and we’ll (pretend to) give you priority access.
A bunch of your people are gonna die Mr Duterte ...
Nonono! Me first! Me!
What is wrong with people?
Just another liberal hoping the alligator will eat him last.
