Philippines 'can't be little brown brother of America'
The Philippines cannot "forever be the little brown brothers of America", Foreign Minister Perfecto Yasay said rejecting criticism over the country's deadly crackdown on drugs. The US had used the term 'little brown brothers' to refer to Filipinos when the Philippines had been its colony till 1946. Notably, 3,526 people have been killed over drug-related issues under President Rodrigo Duterte.
