IBTimes: Philippines says it is 'unlikely' to help US patrols in disputed South China Sea
Filipino Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana says the US could use aircraft carriers or its bases in Guam.
The Philippines has said it is unlikely to help the US to conduct freedom of navigation patrols in the disputed South China Sea, a military action seen as a way to contain China's claims to the region. Filipino Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has asked Washington to not use Manila for activities against China.
He instead suggested that the US use aircraft carriers or bases in Guam — a US island territory in Micronesia, Western Pacific — or Okinawa, a Japanese prefecture in the East China Sea, to patrol the contested waters.

Anti Americanism in the Phillipines has several causes
1) Spanish American War
2) There are communists in The Phillipines
3) Everyone else does it
4) American Presidents get on some people's nerves, when they talk about human Rights. People were irate when Jimmy Carter went to Brasil preaching human rights. Brazileros said they could clean their own house. Jimmy did not win any friends. It is the same way with Barack Osama. It seems to me that the Phillipine military had a major victory in Basilan. I am not sure they could have done as well with American advisors. Obam lives in The Hamptons and martha's Vinyard. He does not live in the real world, the world of Duterte.
5) Obama was really tough on China with his slap fighting routine. It sure scared China and impressed Duterte. China was so scared they walked over Phillipine claims to the eastern portion of the South China sea.
Editor,
It looks like Duterte is a little preoccupied with other affairs at this time.

Yup, he's just a stupid 3rd worlder. He can't do more than 1 thing at a time.
That is RRH's take.
I figured you'd be half way to Venus by now.
These are interesting times....
Even the WaPo has enough honesty these days to declare it can not vouch for the veracity of what it publishes.
Aizino hasn't caught up with the Zeitgeist. He doesn't get that Breitbarting is blasé and so pre-election. He's a slew footed one trick pony stuck on banal mendaciousness.
If Der Furor gets impeached or loses the next election, he'll be sure to bring the kids to the Reichstower for a serving of Hammelsgasse.
As for Duterte,

Aiznio's mind-reading skills are as well honed as his reading comprehension and cognitive abilities. To be accused of thinking of a self-declared socialist such as the Philippine President as a "stupid 3rd worlder" by someone who pushes an agenda to reduce 99% of the planet to the forth world is positively Kafkaesque. But like I said, interesting times....
Aizino, our resident anthropometrist, has positively gushed over how "earthy" Duterte is. In his fit of right wing populist pique he must of read him as a national socialist. Now it's back to the calipers for the Thrilla in Manilla.
That's if he makes it back from Venus.
And Editor,
The last thing the U.S. is worried about is protecting anyone else's national sovereignty.
Sovereignty and protectorate go together like fish and bicycle.
Or Aizino and honest.
leftist tactics always involve character assassination and a very stilted version of self righteous indignation, wouldn't it be easier to just realize there are differing points of view and opinions other than your own? Or is that not allowed in your worldview?
RRH,
For your reading comprehension, I accused you of thinking him a stupid 3rd worlder, who cannot do more than 1 thing at a time.
My spouse looks a lot like the people of the Phillipines. Scratch a Filipino and you'll find someone who looks like my spouse.
But you got what I meant the 1st time. Your comment showed that you did not know what hit you.
"Sovereignty and protectorate " - RRH
RRH is so full of shit, he is like a perpetual geyser.
- Last time I checked An American citizen cannot own land in Japan.
- Last time I checked an American corporation can own no more than 49% of a Japanese company.
RRH, please check your stupidity at the door.
