The Philippines, recently, has been leaving the US in favor for China. Whether it is the right decision, however, is often scrutinized.

US has already been kicked out since 1991.
After nearly 100 years of alliance with the United States, the Philippines has become a third world country😂
i prefer US
The Philippines-US Complex Relationship IS OVER.
Shift to reciprocal cooperation with China and Russia.
I think the opposite might actually be true
The US would be distrusted by other nations around the world were it to default and ignore its obligations under the RP-US Mutual Defense Treaty. No other nation would ever want to sign another treaty with the USA should it one-sidedly abandon its former colony and long-standing ally. Also, the Filipino-Americans in the USA will besiege the US government for its abandonment of the Philippines if they even considered it.
The Relationship and the Committment of the U S A should always be on Strong Ties that relationship and Bond should NEVER BE BROKEN
Its credible fact is more on historical connection between the United States and the Philippines in early 20th century(1898-1942;1945-1946)🇵🇭🖒🇺🇸
Bias reporting. Obviously, the writer is pro-US and is ignorant about the Philippines' independent foreign policy.
President Rodrigo Duterte changed the course of our foreign policy from one that's pro-US to an independent foreign policy friend to all enemy to none.
Not even convincing
Haha, you sound like the spokesman of the CIA. Nevertheless, just believe that we filipinos now wants to have independent foreign policy and dont want to lick the ass of the US anymore.
your reporting irresponsible
ally nyo na cla lang yumaman. Pauto pa….
On the surface it would seem like the Philippines is favoring China over the US but that couldn't be farther from the truth. PRRD tried to play China and Russia and succeeded to some degree. The Filipinos see Communism as an evil reincarnate and except for a handful of Communist-backed activists, no Filipino would want Communism to infest our soil. Besides, the long-standing relationship between the Philippines and the US has always stood the test of time. There are over 2 million Filipinos in the US and millions more would want to emigrate there if allowed. What Filipino would want to emigrate to China? Also, the US has a vested interest in the West Philippine Sea and our geo-political status as a whole and its not about to jeopardize that hence its commitment to defend the Philippines at any price.
US is our biggest and strongest ally.
