President Rodrigo Duterte chided Senator Manny Pacquiao for criticizing his stance on the West Philippine Sea issue.
“It’s about foreign policy. I would not want to degrade him, but next time he should...mag-aral ka muna nang husto [study diligently], Duterte said in an interview with his friend Pastor Apollo Quiboloy on Tuesday.Pacquiao – president of the ruling PDP-Laban party – earlier criticized Duterte’s stance on the maritime dispute with China as lacking.
“Itong mga taong ito, hindi ako kilala [These people do not know me]… Foreign policy is just being neutral. But ako [I am] neutral in a sense I do not favor one country for the other nor would I allow any of those countries to be in the Philippines to establish itong mga [these] military bases,” he countered.
