BAKIT NGA BA MAINIT ANG ULO NI D30 SA EUROPE AT AMERICA? KINATAY KASI NILA MGA NINUNO NATIN

Want to know why the Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte, seems to hate the U.S. and EU so much? The roots go back more than a thousands of years ago as our ancient history erased by this so called biblical monster countries and claim our motherland as one of their conquered territories, but there's a more recent reason as well. For that, look no farther than the Evergreen Hotel in the southern city of Davao, where Duterte served as mayor for more than 20 years.

It's a rundown flophouse, up a long flight of stairs in the middle of Chinatown. At $15 a night, it's way overpriced. A sign on the wall says "Strictly No Smoking." The desk clerk warns that making bombs in the rooms is "highly prohibited," too — even though she admits with a nervous laugh that it's been done before. By an American citizen named Michael Meiring.

On May 16, 2002, the self-described treasure hunter accidentally blew himself up in room 305 with an explosive device he had kept in a metal box in his room. Fe Basan, then commander of the Santa Anna Police Station around the corner from the Evergreen, arrived on the scene minutes after the explosion.
