I don't think he cares all that much about the blowback. He is getting plenty of support back in SE Asia.
Philippines has a large catholic population and he's a favorite son so it wouldn't surprise me if he was a receiving a lot of support from his home country. But I doubt he's getting much support from other SE Asian countries such as Viet Nam, Thailand, or Cambodia where Buddhism is the most dominant religion.
