Philippines: ‘Don’t f**k with my country,’ Duterte rages at presser

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte launched an expletive-laden tirade during a press conference at the end of ASEAN Summit in Manila on Tuesday. When asked by a reporter if he had spoken to EU Council President Donald Tusk about donations, Duterte responded: “Forget it. We will survive. Even if we have to eat dried fish and rice. We will survive. Just don’t f**k with my country`s sovereignty. That is really an insult. I consider it a very serious insult.” The Philippines President added: “I will look for the money somewhere. But accepting dollars from a country who thinks you are a killer. Why come to us and offer something? Keep your money, don’t meddle up with the sovereignty.”
