It was reported today that the White House turned down the scheduled meeting of US President Barack Obama and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte inline also with the upcoming ASEAN Summit to happen this week in Laos. This decision was suggested by Obama who said that he want a productive meeting and he wants something to be done. He was referring to the fragile topic of the controversial drug and crime campaign of the Duterte Administration in the Philippines. This statement made Duterte agitated and left a statement in a press interview aired on national television on September 5, 2016.

“I AM NO AMERICAN PUPPET. I AM THE PRESIDENT OF A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY AND I’M NOT ANSWERABLE TO ANYONE EXCEPT THE FILIPINO PEOPLE… SON OF A BITCH, I WILL SWEAR AT YOU.” -DUTERTE ON OBAMA

This was the angry response of the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on the rising number of political and countries who were in great worry about the alleged "extra judicial killings" in the Philippines. President Duterte even remarked that he owe no one an explanation to this (not even other countries) unless they are a Filipino. EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLING is not even the right term to use. As we can remember, leaders from different countries are in a great worry about the increasing number of "killings" in the Philippines which, as a Filipino can either be the result of Duterte's campaign against drugs and crimes or just plain criminal activities by criminals.
