Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte announced Thursday his country's "separation"from the United States, while visiting Beijing. Duterte remarked Wednesday it's "time to say goodbye, my friend."


"America has lost now," Duterte said in China's Great Hall of the People. "I've realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to [President Vladimir] Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world - China, Philippines and Russia. It's the only way."
