Eduardo Araral and Richard Heydarian are both political analysts who stated that President Rodrigo Duterte is using the PH relationship with China to get a fair treatment from the United States. Thus, Duterte is a “master strategist”
Prior to that, these political analysts said yesterday October 18, 2016, Duterte has been adversarial when it comes to Washington since he wants the Western power to help him to show his sincerity to keep a long-time ally in Asia Pacific.
According to these analysts, United States can still expect Duterte’s good treatment if they:
- Make tangible contributions in the administration’s war on drugs
- Be more sober in its criticisms of Duterte on the issue of human rights
- Give Duterte the respect he deserves as head of state
- Provide the Philippines with aid commensurate with its position as valuable ally in Asia
- Clarify the extent of the mutual defense treaty
