Yeah its true. I read that post in socia media the complete statement of the president wherein he did not said that he is separating from the US. Media here is managed by the oligarchs and is totally against the president. President is pro people which the rich people do not like. It would mean lost for their business.
Media here were all biased. It is a good thing that people nowadays do not believe right away with the reports.
As what I observed,when President Duterte speak, you must be keen on his words.Duterte change the way we think and act to be a Filipino. Duterte clearly says separate on US,which means for us to have an Independent Forien Policy,where we can decide on our own. Duterte did not says severance of ties to US. Study the difference. I like him for being pro-Pilipino stand. He made us realize and thin as a Filipino.
