strange that his main claim to fame is killing off drug dealers and the whole drug trade in the pines is supplied and run by chinese. they already wield a lot of power in the military and upper levels of the police force before duerte came in.
the problem is that filipinos dont need much encouragement to turn against any groups or nationalities. americans expats are already feeling nervous because of his rhetoric and australians, brits, canadians and europeans may get dragged in as well. he'll need to be careful as overseas workers are still the country's biggest earner and this could be in doubt if he persists. may not mean a lot to the government coffers but there are millions of families depending on this income.
wait another month and it will be something else that he'll concentrate on.
