Philippines' Duterte calls North Korea's Kim 'hero of everybody'

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Sunday North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom he had previously called a "fool", is now the "hero of everybody", after Kim pledged to work with Seoul for "complete denuclearization" of the peninsula.

Duterte said he would "congratulate" Kim, who just became his "idol", if he gets a chance to meet him. He said he would tell the North Korean leader "I admire you. You know how to time (your moves)".
