Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said his
country is "separating from the United States," in a surprising
declaration he made before attending a Beijing economic forum on
Thursday.
The remark came after Duterte and his
Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, agreed to resume talks on their South
China Sea territorial dispute following months of acrimony.
"Your
honors, in this venue, I announce my separation from the United States
... both in military and economics also," Duterte said. His remarks
were met with applause, but Duterte was not more specific, according to
reports.
The rapprochement between the two
Asian nations could widen a political rift between the United States and
the Philippines, whose recently elected leader has made no secret of
its antipathy for America and who ordered an end to joint maneuvers
between their militaries, according to experts.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
