Duterte to China: Allow Pinoy fishermen to fish in West Philippine Sea

"Incoming President Rodrigo Duterte has asked China to allow Filipino fishermen to continue fishing in the West Philippine Sea.

In an interview on Friday night, Duterte said he made the appeal when he met Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Jianhua on Monday, May 16, in Davao City."

First he says that he won't pick a fight with the Chinese if they won't either, and then this. What are his foreign policy advisers taking?

I don't think he has one. Or any advisers, for that matter.

Is Duterte aggressive in his appeal? 'Cause if his goal is to have mutual cooperation with China e.g. allowing foreign vessels for economic purposes in local area and v.v., it may not really be a hostile action imo.

Depends on which aspect you're talking about.

So far, he's getting there in terms of solving crime, economic growth, improving the military and talking about Sabah, as well as getting China to respect the UN ruling as much as possible.

Looks like he's calling out on first world countries for double standards on the climate change deal.

Marcos to be buried as a hero In my book a man who destroyed the economy and society of his country so his wife could buy a shoe collection is not a hero, but I guess Duerte and I have different definitions of heroism.

Hmm.. In my opinion, he was neither totally bad, nor totally good either. He was merely an ambitious man who was chewed on by the world of politics and spat out an corrupted husk of his former self. An intellectual giant with a tragic end. I bet one of the major reasons why the current administration decided to bury him once and for all was to just let the issue rest so the citizens can finally stop mourning for the past and focus on the present. I mean, having angst over Hitler's genocidal tendencies won't bring back any of its victims, nor will it support the still-living.

On a side note, I found this interesting article. Might want to check it out, if you can stand it.

He's grey in the best case scenario (and the best case scenario means bending a lot of truths and ignoring the ones that aren't putting him in a good light, at all). Heck, even before being president (first term) he was already lying about his "military exploits"...

Washington confirmed that most of his so-called medals weren't legit at all.

Duterte however doesn't seem to give a fuck about it.

Duterte might've quelled a rally or so if he just gave his reasons. Or maybe I just missed it.

He doensn't want to.

He doesn't mind if the public is against burying Marcos though.

Philippines police records suggest that above 1,900 people have already died in Duterte's war on drugs.

About 750 deaths are directly related to police operations, while 1,100 remain under investigation.
