It is no secret that President Duterte had expressed his feeling for China's President Xi Jinping. Whether or not such expression of love was a figure of speech, the languages by which it had been demonstrated seemed palpable.
How does Pres. Duterte show his love? Apparently via words of affirmation: he thanked Pres. Xi Jinping at least in two instances during his recent weekly reports on the government's COVID-19 response.
Pres. Duterte also offered virtually no resistance to the advances of Pres. Xi Jinping's naval force to the islands and reefs at the West Philippine Sea, where the Philippines secured at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2016 a historic victory against China. Pres. Duterte's timid response could be tantamount to implied consent to giving away the our country's rights over those territories.
