This is a serious change from the status quo.  USA is out.  China is in.  Duterte sends message that:

"I've realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to (President Vladimir) Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world - China, Philippines and Russia. It's the only way," Duterte told his Beijing audience.

I am wondering how many expats, it any, will decide its now time to put the exit plan into play?

What difference does it make?

Tell Duterte to take a look at Cuba and tell us how that worked out.

This only impacts US expats as the average American doesn't have a clue where the Philippines is. Can anyone tell me what the US gets from the Philippines? Plenty of beaches in California and Florida!

Duterte may or may not become a dictator, but one thing he is not is a totalitarian.

Duterte is talking about making US visitors get a visa. He complained that Filipinos must to visit the US, and he was once questioned when he wanted to visit a girlfriend in the US, so fair is fair in his words.
