  1. Biden and the liberal Congress will stop military aid because of accusations of human rights violations. A Bill already in Congress. Biden won't hesitate to sign the bill.

  2. Duterte hates America because he was denied a tourist visa by a US consul years ago. Or, maybe it's because of the Balangiga Bells? Or, maybe it's because of the Bud Dajo massacre? All of these made up or "manufactured" reasons are used as a cover-up for the fact Duterte is at heart a communist – and has been a communist from the start, even before when he was mayor of Davao City. Read this in its entirety: https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1088420?fbclid=IwAR3VQ3_WUQGL3PF0hJPZt9A63tT5mZTfdElwax3aRhr9Xj3JLruuboXrl58

  3. Frenship betwen two country america and philipines are continue only melitary agrement are end i think becouz the tention of china sea are continue and the war of two big nation are start philipines making a battle ground this two nation

  4. As a Filipino,I highly disagree with this and I hope It won’t last for long.Im not gonna be happy when China know is on our door and says let’s be friends cuz they are bad but the people I’m ok with.

  5. Mr. Du30 Americans did not destroy the Philippines actually it was saved by Americans against Japanese during WWII. The reality is Du30 didn’t like to be told what to do by American friends who cares about Filipinos and De Lima was arrested and imprison without due process and that’s the reason why Americans are getting involved. Ending the VFA agreement, Philippines is the losers. Losing lots of money and it’s a savings on the American side. Philippines being a Democracy for many years are now embracing Communist China, what would be the effect? Only time will tell and when it comes it will be too late. Filipinos didn’t learn anything from Dictator Marcos.

  6. I hate America!!! Always entervaning in every countries matter… America has many problems too, likes mass shooting, drugs problems like opioid..homeless.. Pls America, even my country is poor, we Filipinos are the happiest people in this mankind's.. Sorry, if my eng is wrong grammar…

  7. So we Filipinos, the ones not brainwashed by Liberal Media and their Oligarch Masters at least, are trying to be independent. We aren't buying weapons just from Russia, we buy stuff from Turkey, Indonesia, France, and etc. We just want you to do one thing: get off our back. Truth be told we don't give a single cr*p about your Human Rights hulabaloo, the ones killed either fought back or were collateral damage. Demanding us to release a criminal not only is disrespectful it is also showing us how much of an imperialistic control freak you guys are. We jailed the wh*re because she accepted bribes from Drug Lords and if you could only see what their cells looked like you would feel like you just went inside a mansion. Contrabands such as weapons and drugs were getting inside as if it was another one of their Safehouses. We just want you guys to stop choking us. You flexed "The World's Strongest Navy" on our seas and it did not help one bit. Even Trump said it was just another spending so cheers. 😂😂😂😂

  8. This Cancellation of the Defense of the Philippines, it will affect the Defense of all of South East Asia. An you can bet it will Change the Defense agreement with the rest of South East Asian Nations.

  9. Well the proof that the americans keep meddling in the Philippine goverment activities is so clear..

    It's like the U.S. wants to control philippines using the alliance and their history in the Philippines as front.

    Using Propagandas against duterte so they can gain favor of people…

    Americans……

  10. Delima was prosecuted because of illegal drugs and no such extra judicial killling happened here in the Philippines. its better to go away from military alliance with U.S. for in the future our country will not be the battle ground that results destructions, as what happened in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria etc.

  11. Leila DeLima was found guilty by the supreme court for receiving drug money in exchange for her giving protection to a druglord. That druglord confessed to it corroborating the story of DeLima's driver. Leftist allies of Delima distorted the story and label it as a political oppression which is bullshit.
    Does Duterte hate the US? From his mouth, he had a grudge about America because past history where Americans have killed a couple of Moro people, but this shouldn't be an issue if the Americans have comported themselves properly with Duterte.
    Here are accumulated insults Duterte experienced from Americans:
    1. When Duterte says still a mayor, a CIA operative stayed at a hotel in Davao refusing cleaners to fix his room. One day there was an explosion that left the CIA operative wounded and losing a leg in that accident. Duterte came to investigate only to be brushed aside by an official coming from Manila with an American attache and whisk that CIA operative away without any explanation whatsoever.
    2. When Duterte ran for President, the US ambassador meddled in Philippine elections by criticizing Duterte's handling of Davao city. By the way, Davao city was once a lawless place and was transformed into a peaceful and bustling city by Duterte. This is why he won despite the US ambassador's denigration. There was also a dossier accidentally left by that outgoing US ambassador detailing how to pressure and oust Duterte when Duterte won the presidency.
    3. A leftist senator barred the sale of arms to Duterte when he needed the arms to combat muslim rebels who ambushed and killed police officers earlier.
    4. 2 US leftist senators demanded the release of De lima and in pressuring so, banned all Filipino officials involved in handling DeLima's case. The last straw was having Senator Bato Delarosa's US visa rejected.
    Duterte calls this an American arrogance and gross disrespect to local Philippine governance. Now you can see the reason why, so fix your news and make it complete and accurate!

  12. blame your US senator who doesnt know what is happening here the philippine. There so many bias media run by rich people. American look us like a dog with a chain at the neck…

  13. America must stop treating the Philippine as their dog. I’m sure more here will react because they are feed with their American master.

  14. Heres what i believe as right or logic to take. If global
    power are super armaments, weapons of war and conflicts, What do you need vfa's for? Both countries will save much needed resource.

  15. As far as I can remember, Trump doesn't want the US to be the world's police, so in that standpoint, Trump actually wants to end VFA himself, & so Duterte & Trump are on the same page.
