Do you know that President Rodrigo Duterte is a Foreign Service graduate?
That what he said in his press conference with the foreign correspondents in China last Oct. 19.
He boasted: “Now that I am the President, by the grace of God, I read a lot; I’m a lawyer and I studied geopolitics and all, and also I am a graduate of the Foreign Service so I get to know how to balance this contending (forces).”
Being a “foreign service graduate” is quite a big leap from just having taken up foreign service which was what he said last Aug. 21, in a press conference in Davao City.
