President Filipinas, Rodrigo Duterte, does not deny that the US may have been very upset and consider his decision to secure weapons from China and Russia dangerous, as Washington refused to supply Manila with weapons.
The Philippines has sought modern and small weapons to fight against the ISIS branches since Duterte took office in June 2016.
However, Washington's refusal to sell Manila such weapons because of concern over human rights violations during the war that the government has declared to drug traffickers, Duterten has forced Duterten to seek new suppliers.
Manila, who has long been dependent on the US for weapons supply, looked back at China and Russia.
It is a fact that Americans do not keep the word”, Duterte said, thus arguing to find new partners who will supply it with weapons.
So I was forced to go to China to ask President Xi Yingping for help. I want guns, I said.
He answered: No problem. Don't give me money, it's yours.
So I also moved to Russia.
I came to ask for your help, I told Putin.
All right, I'll give it to you without advance”, he showed the audience at a presidential reception.
After his visit to Moscow last year, Russia sent a modest shipment of weapons to the Philippines.
In October, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shigoi himself supervised the handover of over 5,000 Kalashnikovs and a large quantity of ammunition, donated under the new Moscow-Manila relationship.
The Russian army also donated 20 military trucks to Filipino counterparts.
Beijing too took weapons to Manila.
China donated thousands of assault weapons and ammunition as a sign of “friendly and co-operative relations”
“However, none of these moves mean that Manila is being distanced from Washington to join the Beijing or Moscow military bloc, which can be seen as a threat to the US”, Duterte said.
We have no military alliance. I'm not prepared for this”, he said.
Duterte concluded the speech with a statement similar to what the globe media tours in a few hours. If my plane is blown up, or any bomb on the side of the road explodes, maybe you should ask CIA”, he said, not excluding the fact that in the United States, someone might not like what he says.
I have “from experience, so I decided to share it with you”, he said.
