Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte Bans Dems Durbin, Leahy
29th December 2019
Two Democratic senators have been banned from visiting the Phillippines by its president, Rodrigo Duterte, for their support of a prominent critic.
Duterte also has warned any Americans who want to enter the Philippines will be required to get a visa if the United States refuses entry to those involved in the jailing of Philippines Senator Leila de Lima, who has harshly criticized Duterte’s bloody drug crackdowns.
The only reason I can think of for an American to go to the Philippines is by being assigned there by the military.
