HAINAN, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – Remember that 2016 speech by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte while in China when he introduced BongBong Marcos as the next Vice President? (That was of course assuming Marcos would win his electoral protest against Leni Robredo)Well, yesterday — again in China — Duterte introduced his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte as the next President.
Duterte is in China to attend the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) where he participated as one of the speakers. He and Chinese President Xi Jinping also witnessed the signing of six bilateral agreements following the bilateral meeting held between the two leaders here.
Speaking to The Adobo Chronicles, Duterte said it was only a ‘slip of the tongue,’ adding that it is really up to Sara if she’d like to run for President.
Like it always happens, Duterte’s remarks caused quite a bit of frenzy among the media representatives covering his visit to China.
In the meantime, back home in the Philippines, many Duterte supporters said they wished it was not just a slip of the tongue.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has invited President Trump to meet for negotiations over its nuclear program, a diplomatic overture that would bring together two strong-willed, idiosyncratic leaders who have traded threats of war.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For so long, Donald Trump has kept quiet on the changing relations between China and the U.S. former colony, the Philippines.
