Phillipines president Rodrigo duterte has confidently declared that his country will have more closer ties with Russia and China rather than the west who do just double talk and disregard his nations interest. Ahead of duterte's visit to Moscow he made this declaration to RT news and other Russian media.
The Philippines president has been eying a $500 million loan to purchase Chinese arms. Some time last week his government sent a signed letter of intent to China concerning military weapons manufacturing supply. Russia received the same letter. Rodrigo said "I have no problems with the US nor Donald trump but they should stop seeing us as still their colony, we are an independent nation and our freedom of decision and choice should be respected.
