The article above basically says that Duterte saw everyone's end game and thus saved the Filipinos from being massacred by the USA for their own profit, the same America who has been stealing from us and violating our sovereignty since Day 1, and it's still going on. See how he accomplished it step by step, the method to his madness.
>DUTERTE: "There is always a time for everything; a time to be foul-mouthed... I dont want anyone reading my mind because I cannot strategize. It is all calibrated, it is all timing. Just watch out for one thing: miscalculation." --Rodrigo Duterte
Sun Tzu's Art of War states, "Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."
>"The State Department is "baffled" by Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte's decision to announce a "separation" from the United States and is seeking clarification on that statement, which could undermine a decades-old alliance." --Washington Examiner
>"Duterte's 'about-face' unsettles Xi Jinping" --Nikkei Asian Review
>"The succession of controversial statements and comments, and the climate of uncertainty about the Philipppines' intentions, have created consternation in a number of countries, not only in mine." --US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Russel
