On at the moment, it's about Duterte and the Marawi crisis which is still ongoing despite his promise to end it in a couple of weeks. His spokesman Ernesto Abella just described him as very statesman like. Is this the same Duterte who called Obama a son of a bitch and joked about raping nuns? Ernesto just said he does that to connect with the common people and touch their hearts. The Russian interviewer is being very diplomatic describing him ambiguously as having linguistic liberty . US forces are in Marawi providing "Technical assistance". Trump is going to visit Pinas in November.
