Rodrigo Duterte 杜特爾特

Rodrigo Duterte
繁：杜特爾特
简：杜特尔特

被形容為菲律賓「特朗普」的杜特爾特，雖然言行出位，草莽味濃，但外交作風卻甚務實圓滑，對中國尤其如此。他上任不久就表示，願意在南海仲裁有結果後，與中國進行雙邊對話解決爭議，又說不想兵戎相見，與對方開戰。他談到「大佬」美國時，更明言會獨立行事，顯示他將從菲國的實利出發處理南海問題，不願跟隨美國的指揮棒起舞。

CHIEF among the traits of Rodrigo Duterte that won him the presidential election in May was his forthright manner of speaking. Yet the meaning of his aggressive, expletive-laden talk was often obscure. What would he really do as president? Filipinos are starting to get a glimpse.
