So what is Dueterte getting out of all this? Is this whole charade a result of the US and the rest of the world criticizing his insane war on drugs, or is it purely to drum up nationalistic support? Also, what do people in the Philippines think about him cozying up to China and Russia while pissing away goodwill with the US? Edit: I'm just not sure I see the endgame here.

gradenko_2000 posted:Duterte campaigned on "we're totes going to beat China", even as there were allegations and rumors about his campaign being funded by Chinese businessmen, so Duterte cozying up to China after years of sentiment heavily resenting Chinese aggressiveness (which sometimes turns ugly racist and xenophobic) doesn't play well with the public. Thanks for the information. It's always interesting to see what happens when someone that has a cult of personality behind them gets elected to a leadership position, and ends up doing things differently than what people had expected of them. Appreciate all the updates from the local Filipino Goons in here, keep up the good work.
