PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT, RODRIGO DUTERTE"America has lost now. I've realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world -- China, Philippines and Russia. It's the only way." "In this venue, your honours, I announce my separation from the United States, both in military, not maybe social, but economics also."
