Apparently, he said in his speech that foreigners should go to the Philippines to marry the Filipinas (like selling the women). He also refer to kids of mixed race couples (Filipino/westerners) as "cappuccino". There are links in the article where you can read about what he said.

Apparently,"Foreigners" have been enticed by women in the Philippines for years so whats new?
Mestizo..Cappuccino..same thing.
As someone that has spent much of his life REALLY helping poor families here year in year out,I think its pretty evident that much of his success must have been due to foreign donations.
The high pride and onion skinned will be offended as usual but the poor and homeless will continue to be assisted by GAWAD KALINGA..
As for his critics... Talk is cheap.
