Partial and unofficial results put Rodrigo Duterte as the presumptive winner of the Philippine elections and that’s why his opinions and possible strategies now matter for the country. Now, according to the soon-to-be president, there is a solution to the South China Sea spat that has been keeping countries on their toes.

Duterte is the presumptive winner of the Monday elections in the Philippines. To that, many are already curious as to what the incoming president will do on the pressing issues the Philippines is currently faced with. One of the more pressing is South China Sea.

According to Duterte, if he becomes the president, he would be settling the South China Sea tensions through multilateral talks including allies such as the United States, Australia and Japan. He also added that China should honor the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone granted to coastal states with respect to international law.
