10 THINGS TO BE MOST LIKELY AFFECTED OF PHILIPPINES "SEPARATION" WITH THE US



Millions of overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) in the United States and American businesses in the Philippines will not be affected with the constant tirade of President Rodrigo Duterte against the US.

This was the assurance of Malacañang in front of Duterte's announcement of "separation" from the US.

The President already clarified his statement and said he means "separation from dependency."

Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said, American-owned businesses in the country no need to be pulled out and OFWs will no be affected.
