At an event in Eastern Samar to commemorate the 116th Balangiga Encounter Day, Duterte said the Americans, which he has lambasted many times in the past, have "redeemed themselves a lot." "There are so many factors involved but I'd rather be friendly to them now because aside from these episodes of, I said, sad incidents, overall I think the Americans also redeemed themselves a lot," he said.

Duterte did his part by setting aside the maritime issue, leading Beijing to pledge $24 billion in October for aid and investment in the developing, largely poor Philippines.
