MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Internet went wild with speculation about the recent meeting between former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Some netizens speculated that China only recognizes Duterte as Philippine President. Others said Xi’s meeting with Duterte was an insult to President Bongbong Marcos.

But the truth always comes out.

Now it can be told that Duterte was President Bongbong Marcos’ appointed personal envoy to China. In chess speak, “use your pawns to your advantage!”

The proof of the pudding is in the eating: Duterte visited Malacañang to personally report on the results of his meeting with Xi.

Duterte’s report will remain a secret. It’s only for Marcos’ ear.

Will this mark the reunification of Marcos loyalists and the Die-hard Duterte’s?
