Posted on May 12, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on The Opposition LIE to Filipinos whenever they blame Duterte for the loss of Scarborough Shoal
The Opposition LIE to Filipinos whenever they blame Duterte for the loss of Scarborough Shoal

After years of calling for the VFA to be junked communists like @NatoReyes are now FURIOUS that Duterte might cancel it!

It’s really hard to understand what communists like Renato Reyes really want. For years, Reyes and his comrades have been protesting the presence of US troops on Philippine soil.
