The Philippines now fully under the control of the Americans

 Duterte was of course threatened. He even disclosed that if he continued with his close rapport with China, he would not survive the CIA. Why the CIA in particular? Well, as a politician, he knows what the CIA does best and stands for, just like ordinary folks like us. The CIA is the de facto assassination arm of the USA.

No, the USA Government will not conduct assassinations officially itself in those early days, like it is doing today. Then it was said to soil their hands officially, bad for their reputation, and so they set up and used the CIA instead, discreetly and insidiously doing their dirty work. Russia had their KGB, but with demonization and propaganda, the KGB grew to have a bad name associated with assassinations unlike the angelic CIA. Was the CIA involved in the John F. Kennedy's assassination as many suspected? Well, the trail has ended in a prison cell, the perpetrators are free and some probably already dead and buried.

Duterte's experience with the USA tells us how much control the USA still has over the Philippines. The USA Military Base in the Philippines provided all the leverage that the USA had, even though the Philippines had its own military set up. And that applies to all countries hosting USA Military bases. Coupled with a corrupt Military since the days of Marcos Sr, Duterte had to toe the line, having little clout inside the Philippine military establishment.

Today, Mickey Marcos Jr is in a worsening lame position. With his eyes on the ill-gotten wealth from his corrupt father now in the hands of the USA Government, he is just following orders, hoping to lay his hands on those loots. Little does he realize that those loots are now the USA's means to control his every action, just like a puppet.

The Pinoys love being controlled by others. It is in their history. Someone has to hold their hands.

When you invited the devil into the house, getting rid of it is impossible. Especially Satan himself. Satan will threaten if Marcos Jr tries something funny, like what Duterte did. When you sleep with the devil, you have to die for the devil.

The Pinoys have been used as cannon fodder without realizing it.
