Topic Reading-Vol.1646-10/13/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What happens if Rodrigo Duterte dumps the US?
Just in general, which sounds more reasonable to you, a lot of words but very few actions, or a few words with actions?
In the case of the Philippines, the former may be preferred for the bilateral relationship with its long term ally, the U.S. , and the security in Southeast Asia. Ever since he took the president office of the country with 7,000 islands, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has made a series of provoking comments on the US ambassador, president and the relationship.
Though the U.S. government have been patient and making effort not to make those comments by the populist leader seriously, at least officially, that may not last so long.
What the new president and the new administration will do?
What if the Philippines actually move to develop new relationship with Moscow or Beijing?
Enjoy reading and thinking if those seven thousand islands turned red.
