Considering Duterte is a) terrible and b) going around calling the President of the United States a son of a whore is there any reason why the US or other countries have not come out strongly against him beyond the Philippines being a strategic regional ally against China?

I mean this is obviously enough reason why condemnation has been so weak but I wonder if there is anything more to it.

Who in the Philippines would support some kind of strategic pivot to China? Surely the maritime claims issues make the PRC poison to right wing nationalists. This is just lazy rhetoric to upset the US right?
