The Philippines will move away from the USA and work with China. It might also get closer to Russia. President Duterte said he would end military and economic deals with the USA. He told the USA: "Your stay in my country was for your own [good]. So it is time to say goodbye."

Things will now change in Asia. China will be stronger and the USA weaker. The USA navy may have to leave the Philippines. This would be a big problem for the USA.
