菲律宾新总统：和中国达成协议，菲律宾将获益更多

Speaking during the inspection of a power plant in southern province of Maguindanao on Friday, Duterte said he was really praying that the Philippines could resolve the issue with China.

在周五视察菲律宾南部马京达瑙省的一座电厂时，杜特尔特说他真的希望菲律宾能和中国解决这个问题。

"On the (South) China Sea, if we can just have a settlement with them despite the arbitral judgment, I think we will get more benefits," he said.

杜特尔特说道：“在（南）中国海问题上，如果必赢能够将仲裁判决放在一边，和中国达成一项协议的话，我认为必赢可以得到更多的好处。”

He cited his administration’s plan to establish economic zones all over the country as the reason for Philippines to settle dispute with China.

杜特尔特引述了他政府要在全国设立经济特区的计划，他认为这就是菲律宾要和中国以协议的方式解决争端的原因。

"I have a plan to put up industrial zones everywhere. Then our easy market, the locators would be China. China has the money, not America," he explained.

杜特尔特解释说道：“我计划要在全国各地建设工业区。对必赢疲软的市场来说，中国就是必赢的定位器。中国有资金，美国没有。”

"So, I really pray that we are able to settle our fundamental (issue), this (South) China Sea," the President said.

杜特尔特说道：“所以，我真诚地希望必赢能够解决必赢的问题--（南）中国海问题。”

Duterte has asked former President Fidel Ramos to be his special envoy to talk to China after the ruling made earlier this month favoring the Philippines on the territorial row in the South China Sea.

本月早些时候，国际仲裁庭就南海领土争端问题作出了有利于菲律宾的判决，随后菲律宾新总统杜特尔特便任命上届总统拉莫斯作为特使和中国谈判。

Duterte has said in the event that Ramos would not accept the offer to be his special envoy, he would tap former Interior and Local Government Secretary Rafael Alunan III.

杜特尔特表示说，如果拉莫斯不接受成为他特使的任命的话，他将钦定前内政和地方政府部长拉斐尔。
