Philippines' Duterte plans to cancel Japan trip in June

somebodies scared of a coup, me thinks.

Great, we don't want him over here, he'll just say something horrible.  Let 'Aso' speak to him by phone, they speak the same language (foot-in-mouth-go).

Covering up atrocities takes a lot of work... which is why Duterte doesn't even bother. No... he'll be skipping this trip because he's busy creating them, and for defending others who help him carry them out.

Hope maybe Abe and Suga take a moment to stop kow-towing to this scumbag just so they can try and alienate China and stop supporting the man. It'll earn them a bunch of profanity from Duterte, but it would more importantly earn them some respect, and some much-needed backbone and morals.

Durete should focus upon his home affaires. Sure, He's got a loud mouth, and a big ego. Though hopefully he can deliver upon what he says for the benefit of the Filipino people as a whole.

Duterte should be arrested the moment he steps outside of the Philippines and charged with crimes against humanity

I just hope people apply the same standards to other leaders in this world.......

"I just hope people apply the same standards to other leaders in this world......."

Exactly! Accidents are one thing. Mistakes another. But outright killing and murdering, invading other countries (especially the wrong ones), funding terrorists (or allies who fund them) while claiming to fight them, implementing lies, fear/war/hate mongering and displacing thousands if not millions of people and then not even fixing the problem and making the cream at the top richer, while making the poor poorer should be war crimes.

I don't understand some of these leaders. Surely not everyone will agree with everything, but there are truly some horrible people out there...
