President Rodrigo Duterte was hailed 2016’s “Person of the Year” by Chinese magazine, Yazhou Zhoukan (Asia Weekly).
The Philippine leader appeared in a 7-page cover story in the January 1, 2017 issue of the publication, considered the “TIME magazine of the Chinese-speaking world.”
Facebook user Joaquin Sy, who uploaded scanned pages of the Yazhou Zhoukan’s feature on Duterte, said the chief executive was given the recognition for having “changed the balance of power in Asia.”
Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said that Duterte’s “announcement of an independent foreign policy that consists of his distancing away from the us, and forging closer ties with China” were the magazine’s basis for giving the title to the Filipino leader.
“The article also praises Duterte’s good governance and anti-corruption campaign as the reason for his popularity among Filipino,” Abella stated in a palace press briefing on Tuesday, January 3.
Yazhou Zhoukan is the “world’s only Chinese-language international affairs magazine” published in Hong Kong and circulated in several Asian countries such as Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Recently, Duterte was included in Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s most powerful people.
He was also named as the “most ‘googled’ person of 2016” in the Philippines, while Wikipedia cited his entry as one of the most edited pages in the free online encyclopedia.
Lol. They've featured one of the ISIS leaders and suddams right hand man few years ago hahahah.
ReplyDeleteEat your heart out 12:59.
DeleteKaloka ka baks! Nka abang lagi pag si duterte. Dun ka kay mocha maghasik ng english cheverchenes.
DeleteCompared to the previous administration, DU30's accomplishments benefited the masses such as 911, calamity relief response time, Duterte's kitchen and et al.
DeleteGo figure.
makabintang ka dyan bakla, nasan ang proof / evidence mo? wala! anti-duterte kasi kayo kaya puro paninira ang alam nyo. bakit hindi nyo imulat ang mata nyo sa mga magagandang naidudulotn ng pamumuno nya.
Delete“changed the balance of power in Asia.”
ReplyDeleteHow? Gaano kalaki ang Pipilinas na magiging significant ang desisyon natin sa Asia? Lol. Inuuto lang ang mga DDS ng China. Para hindi na mapansin yung teritoryo natin na kinamkam nila.
Ang liit natin no, pero they recognize us- that we actually exist, that we can actually do things! That we are not just the Philippines na pwede nilang gawing TUTA, gaya ng mga nakaraang TERMINO! Nakakaproud.
DeleteAnon 2:32 China recognize us because they want something from us. TUTA nila si Duterte. Hindi pa ba obvious? Haha!
DeleteMore of strengthening the power of China & tilting the balance more on their side.
Deletego digong👊
DeleteSi DU30 kasi ni-meet ang mga leaders ng Asia para hopefully magkaisa at makabuo ng union kagaya ng sa EUrope hindi yung puro asa lang tayo sa ibang bansa outside Asia lalo na sa America. Napakayaman ng Asia pero watak-watak tayo. Yan ang dahilan kung bakit gusto ni Du30 na mag-unite tayo sa mga kapit-bahay natin imbis na magpa-under sa US.
DeleteHe might be uncouth and can be quite vulgar, but he knows how to balance his relationships with superpowers and emerging regional players. The red carpet from the top of the plane stairs on his state visit to China was very telling.
ReplyDeleteHe does? Then why disparage USA and the EU just to get close to China? Yun ba ang balanse? Hibang!
Delete2:18am clearly you do not know Politics... at the end of the day it is a battle of power, PH now is a force to be reckoned with. US will always be their, they cannot survive without the other countries, that includes the PH- ties will always be present.
DeleteIt looks like it is you who has no idea how the global economy and politics work ANON 2:34am. How is PH a force to be reckoned with? Economically? Eh sa GDP pa lang natin makikita mong hindi tayo major economic player globally. Militarily? Have you seen our Armed Forces? So please, tell me my dear Dutertard, how is PH a force to be reckoned with?
Deleteanon 3:44 basa basa rin pag may time, Phils has the fastest growing economy in Asia based on GDP growth rate of > 7% kaya nakatuon ang pansin ng buong mundo sa bansa..utak talangka ka kasi maka bash lang eh obvious naman yellowtard ka!
Deletelol harapan na nga pag papahiya ni Duterte sa US pero andyan pa din sila kung ibang bansa tayo baka kumalas na US sa atin. Kasi po nasa ating lugar ang pinaka importanteng sea lanes sa buong mundo na gusto mahawakan ng US na hawak ngayon ng china. Kung alam lang ng US na mangyayari ito baka noon pa lang ginawa na nila tayong state for the sake na maprotektahan interes nila
Delete@2:34 a force to be reckoned with?!?! LOL
DeleteBurn Anon 2:34. Clearly,it is you who do not know politics. Pretentious.
DeleteANON 9:17am, time pa ni PNoy yang 7% GDP growth na kino-quote mo. Eh diba using the logic of Dutertards like you, wala kunong ginawa si PNoy? So are you giving credit to PNoy while at the same time claiming na walang ginawa ang administration nya or what? Make up your minds! LOL!
DeleteHanggat di pa umaangat ang kalidad ng buhay ng ordinaryong pilipino walang silbi yan.
ReplyDeleteAtat na atat. Magic ang gusto? Ikaw ba may naitulong kanegahan mo?
DeleteKay Mr. President na mismo nanggaling, in 3 to 6 months parang Singapore na ang Pinas. Anyare? Paki-explain 1:34am
DeleteEh ikaw ANON 1:34 am, ano naitulong mo? FYI, defending your President eh hindi naman nakakatulong umangat ang kalidad ng buhay ng mga Pinoy.
DeleteEh diba yan din naman ang spiel nyo ANON 1:34am sa mga tulad ni FVR or PNoy? Ano, may amnesia na kayo?
DeleteAnon 1:39 saan at kelan sinabi ni Duterte na in 3-6 mos magiging pareho ng Singapore ang Pinas? Ang alam ko eradication ng drugs ang pinangako nya in 3-6 mos , hwag mag imbento ng kwento Teh!
Delete9:19- I KNOW, RIGHT?
DeleteSipsip
ReplyDeleteWell of course, he's their lackey, their b*tch. He will provide them all the natural resources of the Philippines to please his communist masters. He'd happily kill the drug addicts but will do nothing about the influx of drugs from China. He deserves the Person of China of the Year award.
ReplyDeleteThis!
DeleteSpot on!
DeleteChecklist of how to be China's Person of the Year
ReplyDelete--Be a communist sympathizer
--Give China free reign on natural resources that are supposed to be for your own people
--Give Chinese Drug lords and other such criminals free access to the country and keep letting them supply drugs, pero para hindi halata kunwari may War ka on Drugs pero imbes na yung bigtime players ang tinatarget eh puro si Manong Trike driver sa kanto lang ang laging pinapatay.
--Lick Putin's boots.
Agree lalo na yung pangatlo. Tsk
DeleteTHIS. Lol.
DeleteAray ku beh!
DeletePrevious leaders and USA
Hahaha! And the presidential fans are so proud of this award as if super coveted and prestigious sya. They even go so far as saying that PNoy never once won this award in his 6-year term. As if PNoy cares. Baka isuka pa nya yung award na yan.
DeleteGet get aw aw
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations President Duterte! I knew my vote for you would not be in vain!
ReplyDeletewell done mr president more to come
ReplyDeletePublicity & name boosting in exchange for Scarborough shoal and the rests, cheap exchange.
ReplyDeleteAnong gusto nyo giyera? Sige mauna na kayo! Pampagulo lang naman kayo sa Pilipinas!
DeleteHe has done so much in a short period of time.
ReplyDeleteWaley akong alam sa politics kaya join na akez sa pagsabing tutabells si digong!
ReplyDeleteWala ka palang alam pero nagbigay ka agad ng hatol. Yeah right.
DeleteDuterte will definitely be the best president the Philippines has ever had! Eat your hearts out yellow zombies!
ReplyDeleteano nagawa nya patayin mga adik at ang piso hehehe
Delete1:57 Sino na lang sa mga naging presidente sa Pinas ang nagpasimuno na magpatayo ng rehab centers para sa mga adik? Yung mga ayaw magbago at patuloy sa kanilang bisyo ay bahala sila sa buhay nila! Ginusto nila ang ganyang klasr ng buhay pwes, paghandaan nila ang kahihinatnan nila! Tungkol naman sa Piso ateng, lahat po ng bansa sa Asya ay nakakaranas ng pagbagsak ng halaga ng pera nila! Malaki ang kinalaman dyan ng pagkapanalo ni Trump!
DeleteCongrats my President! 👊👊
ReplyDeleteBravo Mr. President👏👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteSalamat China sa pagbibigay pugay sa aming Panginoong DU30! -Dutertard
