I have to say that Duterte is just as good as putin

[kymtheunstable]

Russians are proud of their Putin, Filipinos are proud of Their Duterte

Americans love Trump! The whole world loves Trump (exception AJ & CNN)

[kwerdas]

What? It was joke about the knees, not the legs. It is a Visayan joke which means that a person with smooth knees are not doing their job. Al Jazeera should do more and study the local languange of the Philippines, you're translations are not accurate, catchy, but terribly misleading.

We love US and Philippines in Ireland🤗❤❤

I hope the Filipino-US relations were now fixed.

[jepox]

I hope Trump will come back as US president.

Women rights are damaged by jokes or saying that they are attractive to men apparently. Ohh those poor little butterflies they are such strong independent women you dont want to make them feel slightly uncomfortable. Meanwhile everyone talks about Trumps small hands.

If Duterte does not like the USA, they need to find someone
else to defend their county..
Trump will be a excellent leader.

PRES. DUTERTE AND PRES. TRUMP ARE TRANSPARENT.

[DelinquentDemon]

Wanna hear a joke?




Women's rights

[Cincy]

Duterte, Trump, and Kim dream team <3

[omaroliblish]

It is good to complement woman and sometimes this gets all turned around (misinterpreted) and misunderstood be the far-left and used as ammo against a good leader, so we have more social-political drama at large.

I really think they're not gonna get along

[Saffrone]

If there is equal rights then women should share cell with men

[mabugnutin]

Really? "Making inappropriate advances on the Vice-president"?The comment about the VP's smooth knees (not legs!) is actually an idiomatic expression used by Visayans to connote that someone isn't working hard enough. Yet you didn't even get the side of the administration nor try to get the context of Duterte's comments. No wonder a lot of people don't trust the media.

WOMEN DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED IF THEY RESPECT THEMSELVES. OA NA YON
