Duterte is pressuring the incoming congress to accelerate charter change in order to appease US imperialism by showing it he is still its asset.

The Filipino people must brace themselves for a major political battle against Duterte’s aim to further mangle […]
In dismissing Prof. Jose Ma. Sison’s analysis of a scenario of a possible US-supported military coup against Duterte, Malacañang and the military and police leadership reveal their complete ignorance of history and the continuing interventionist role being played by the US in the Philippines.
