's GREAT news ... obviously President Duterte's recent 'bonding' visit to China has paid dividends!

hh ... it would be really nice if even just one of the members who've viewed this thread were to respond by saying, "yes, Arthur ", as ... ... I don't appear to've had many such replies to my postings of late, sadly!

Good news indeed, and thanks for posting this thread, Arthur

I understand your disappointment at the lack of responses.

Well, I do agree Arthur but have the Chinese a long term ulterior motive?

The Chinese ALWAYS have an ulterior motive Micheal... They dont often freely give aid or donations but rather issue"soft loans" or credit..
To all intents and purposes,economically speaking they have owned the Philippines for many years.
Their control of the local food and product supply which they distribute through their huge shopping malls is glaringly obvious.. It`s almost impossible to compete with them here as they have completely cornered the market.
