I sincerely hope that this story is true, not just a mere omission, which we know is that the Philippines is a very small country even since the Philippines is led by Rodrigo Duterte, the country's economy is very good even far from the previous leader, hopefully this news is true ..
Actually the population is 100 million. Not a small country exactly. But it is true that the vast majority of the population supports Duterte. And even though he's a bonafide dickhead, he is trying to fix some pretty severe problems with the country. Its no easy job.
