He's playing both sides

Duterte has been separating himself further and further from the U.S. due to Obummers policies while shifting to China. What we're now seeing in the Philippines is likely Covert Action (Propaganda, Political Action, Paramilitary Ops, and Lethal Action) to destabilize and remove Duterte from power. This is now something we're learning and understanding with Assad and Syria. Timing is everything, ISIS insurgency was hardly an issue in the Philippines until Duterte won the last election defeating the U.S. backed Wall Street banker Mar Roxas. Overall, there are likely more forces at play than just Philipino corruption. Duterte is using and leveraging BOTH the U.S. and China for personal gain of his own country, much like Gamal Nassar did with the Soviets and U.S. in Egpyt.

Just my 2 cents.
