Get the fuck out! DFA calls China an ugly oaf
“China, my friend, how politely can I put it? Let me see… O…GET THE FUCK OUT. What are you doing to our friendship? You. Not us. We’re trying. You. You’re like an ugly oaf forcing your attentions on a handsome guy who wants to be a friend; not to father a Chinese province,” said Philippine Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. in an expletive-laced Twitter message.

Rise of China means growth of Philippines, says DFA
FOREIGN AFFAIRS Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. reaffirmed Manila’s unwavering support to China as the rising power in the East, saying the emergence of a "new China" creates a world where the developing nations have a chance to prosper.
Locsin said the country has much to hope for, and nothing to fear from the rise of a new power. This, as it hoped for a "new world" where a state's goal to get richer is through helping others prosper.
Citing what he wrote in the Philippine-China memorandum of understanding on the Belt and Road Initiative, Locsin said there is no other country, but the new China that aspired to rise higher by helping others rise alongside her. "To put it in concrete terms, without the new China, there will be no prospect whatsoever for the developing world to grow into emerging economies. We would still be, as throughout the second half of the last century we were, at the mercy of Western markets which, on a whim, can turn us away—as they did throughout the post- and neo-colonial period," he said during a joint presser with State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently.
"The emergence of a new China is creating a world where the lesser have a chance. And more than a chance: cooperation for mutual benefit instead of words," he added.
On the two countries' cooperation, Locsin and Wang vowed to deepen Philippines-China relations. Although a lot of work remains to be done, there are "greater advantages" in the two nations' collaboration across a wide range of areas, he said.
"There is so much to look forward to and accomplish that will be of much greater value to both of us than those differences can ever be to each one," Locsin said as he also assured the Chinese official that Manila will look after the Chinese people in the Philippines.
"You have our assurance that the Philippines will look out for your people in my country as I have seen China look out for our people in yours," Locsin said. Prior to his presser with Wang, he met with Vice President Wang Qishan, a stalwart of the Chinese Communist Party, who also reaffirmed Beijing’s commitment to further strengthening bilateral relations with Manila.

China opens Consulate-General in Davao City
DAVAO CITY – Beijing has recently opened its consulate office here with Manila welcoming Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Wang led the inauguration of the consulate general and Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. welcomed its formal opening, saying its inauguration underscores the growing cooperation between Manila and Beijing.
“Being the biggest Philippine city in terms of land area, and the third largest in terms of population, the inauguration of the Chinese consulate general here in Davao is an auspicious sign of the city’s promise and the bright prospects for our engagement with China,” Locsin said.
“May this be a continued testament to an immemorial friendship, to a robust and interconnected relationship, and to sustained interactions between the Philippines and China, as we promote our common goals to the mutual benefit of both our great nations,” he added.
Locsin said he was pleased with the positive turnaround and vigorous momentum in Philippines-China relations. “The Philippines has always been a friend of China,” he said, as he recalled how he broke through the Western news embargo on China in 1967 to see for himself and tell the world of the progress that China had made.
“We have since enhanced our dialogue and consensus on many levels,” he said. “Our practical cooperation in many areas is reaping an early harvest of tangible benefits.”
Locsin said he is looking forward to sitting down and discussing with State Councilor Wang ways to further advance Philippines-China relations through cooperation in various areas - trade, investments, infrastructure, tourism, agriculture, and education, science and technology, anti-terrorism, anti-narcotics, and cultural and people-to-people exchanges.
This is the first time Wang visited Davao. “Davao is a rapidly growing metropolis that also signifies the friendship between our peoples and the great strides that we have accomplished in the bilateral relations between our two countries,” Locsin said.
A consulate is similar to, but not the same as a diplomatic office, but with focus on dealing with individual persons and businesses, as defined by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. A consulate or consulate general is generally a representative of the embassy in locales outside of the capital city.
Davao is renowned for its strategic location and connectivity, a gateway to the rich resources and culture of Mindanao. It also accounts for 40 percent of Chinese fruit imports from the Philippines. (With a report from Mindanao Examiner.)
