Obama Can Go To Hell ....Philippine

Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte has told President Barack Obama to "go to hell" in response to the US leader's criticism of his deadly anti-drug campaign, suggesting that he may eventually decide to "break up with America".

"Instead of helping us, the first to criticise is this State Department, so you can go to hell, Mr Obama, you can go to hell," Duterte said in a speech on Tuesday.

His anti-drug crackdown has left more than an estimated 3,000 suspected drug dealers and pushers dead in just three months, alarming the United Nations, the EU, the US and human rights watchdogs.

In the speech before a local convention attended by officials and business executives, Duterte outlined his disappointments with the US, which has asked his government to stop the widespread killings and has questioned whether human rights are being violated.

He also described Washington as an unreliable ally, saying Filipino forces had not benefited from joint combat exercises with US troops.

US Embassy officials said Washington has not been formally notified by the Philippine government of any move to scrap other planned drills.

"Eventually I might, in my time, I will break up with America," he said without elaborating. "I would rather go to Russia and to China."

'Hell is filled up'

He also lashed out anew at the European Union, saying the bloc, which has also criticised his brutal crackdown, "better choose purgatory, hell is filled up".

Since becoming president in June, Duterte has had an uneasy relationship with the US and with Obama, and has declared intentions to bolster relations with China and Russia as he revamps Philippine foreign policy that has long leaned on Washington.
