'Philippines can do without US military aid'
Philippines Defense Minister Delfin Lorenzana on Friday suggested that they should "re-assess" relations with the US as they can manage without their military aid. Recently, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte told US President Barack Obama to "go to hell" claiming Russia and China were willing to provide them with weapons. Notably, US pledged ₹1,200 crore-worth aid to the Philippines this year.
