ZackMark29 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm from Philippines. they're still fighting until now, so many innocent killed already. and the latest news earlier that maybe the enemy has a tunnel that's why they can hide anywhere and cannot see/find by the army. they're too smart and have unique equipment to build a tunnel. The big thing is, after they found the leader and his sons, they found 52 Million cash and check almost 20 million. Now according to president they're not gonna stop until the enemy dead.

mikie Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Apparently Duterte became angry with USA after Obama had promised him military weapons and a deal was made - and then somehow some usa congressman or senator stopped the deal. That's why Duterte was calling Obama Son of a B.. and saying he could go to hell, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said the Philippines relations with other countries is much like an Open Marriage, where partners are free to have relationships with others.

Duterte already shifted the foreign policy to Russia and there's no turning back. American forces will be gone in two years and no more US military presence in Philippines. We are Sovereign Sate.
