THE meeting between United States Ambassador Lee Lipton and Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte on Oct. 22 may have been officially described as a courtesy call, but there is rarely such a thing as a purely ceremonial meeting in politics and diplomacy. Timing, venue, participants, and symbolism matter. In this case, the encounter carries implications that extend beyond Davao City and touch on both Philippine domestic politics and the country’s foreign relations.
