Philippine President Duterte abandons plan to run for VP

For more:

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has abandoned plans to run for vice president next year. The Philippine constitution imposes a limit of one term in the presidency. But earlier this month, Duterte accepted his party's nomination to run for the vice presidency. That was met by widespread public anger and he now says he will retire from politics.

Hopefully the next president of the Philippines won't be a US рuppet. Duterte, for all of his flaws, has managed to balance Philippines foreign policy and has been protecting Philippines own interest, not that of the US.

He does not love China, but the Philippines. He is a qualified leader. The Chinese people will never forget that the Philippines has never discriminated against overseas Chinese in the Philippines. I hope he will get. his health and safety.

He can be the country’s adviser when it comes to serious sticky subjects, he is a forward-looking leader and a great asset of the Philippines.

Not like those ambitiously selfish politicians who can't get enough of more money. Truly, once they've tasted power and influenced by money, they can't stop. There's money in presidency.

Smart. VP is like frontseat to the shitshow that the Phillipines will experience when the new leader back answering to their Murican master 🙈

not true "wide spread anger" no such thing, Duterte is one of the best, after Marcos. Next year Marcos Jr should become the next President. 👊👊👊
