President Duterte said that he will not just talk to China if they will not allow him to raise the issue on the Arbitral Ruling in favor of the Philippines, saying nobody can stop him from talking about whatever he wants since he is the president of a sovereign nation.

Duterte made the statement a week before his scheduled work visit to Beijing, China for a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping where he will raise the Hague Ruling because he thought it was finally time to do it.

Duterte then said that China cannot stop him from bringing it up since he is the president of the Philippines.“If I’m not allowed as a president of a sovereign nation to talk whatever I want to talk about then let us rather not talk altogether. ‘Wag na . Do not control my mouth because that is a gift from God,” he added.

“Then what we get, if there is a start in the exploration and extraction of whatever we’re there is in the bowels of the earth, the proposal of 60-40 in our favor, would be a good start,” Duterte said.

Chickens can fly and people call them flying chickens.
