[环球时报综合报道]菲律宾总统杜特尔特5日晚在机场被记者问及南海议题时说，出兵南海等于要士兵们去自杀，“你们认为士兵们会听我的命令吗？菲律宾武装部队宁愿废黜我，也不会让士兵送死。”“如果士兵全都死在南海，谁要负责？人民会把我处决。”
《菲律宾星报》称，杜特尔特5日还被问到如何看待“菲向仁爱礁驻岛士兵提供补给遭中国军机骚扰”一事，杜特尔特表示，没听说过。
菲议员近日称海军向仁爱礁提供补给时，遭中国军机“危险接近”。仁爱礁是中国南沙群岛的一个环礁，1999年菲律宾以军舰搁浅为由长期霸占。

Original title: Duterte: Sending troops to the South China Sea is equal to killing a soldier. The people will execute me!
[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Philippine President Duterte was asked by reporters on the South China Sea issue at the airport on the evening of the evening on the evening of the 5th. Sending troops to the South China Sea is equal to asking the soldiers to commit suicide. "Do you think the soldiers will listen to my orders? The Philippine Armed Forces I would rather depose me and will not let the soldiers die." "If the soldiers all died in the South China Sea, who would be responsible? The people will execute me."
According to the “Philippine Star”, Duterte was also asked on the 5th how to treat “The Philippine supplies to the Renai Reef Soldiers on the island were harassed by the Chinese military aircraft.” Duterte said that he had never heard of it.
The Philippine politician recently said that when the Navy provided supplies to Renai Jiao, it was "dangerously approached" by Chinese military aircraft. Renaijiao is an atoll of the Nansha Islands in China. In 1999, the Philippines took up long-term occupation on the grounds that the ships were stranded.

Duterte: War with China is like committing suicide

MANILA, Philippines — Security forces would grab power and take over the government if ordered to go to war with China over the South China Sea dispute, President Duterte said yesterday.
Duterte said the military and police would defy him if he asks them to go to war over the maritime row.
Doing so would be like committing “suicide,” he said.
“They are not prepared to go into a suicide. You would rather dispense of me rather than lose their soldiers unnecessarily and needlessly. If I tell the military and the police, ‘go there, commit suicide,’ do you think they will follow me?” the President told reporters at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 late Tuesday.
“If I were the general, and you order me to go there, commit suicide with my troops, I will tell you ‘f*** you. Why do I have to do that?” he added.
Duterte said he would end up losing the presidency and being executed if he allows policemen and soldiers to die in a war that the Philippines cannot win.
“Can I rely on anybody’s help? If all of my soldiers die there and all of the policemen to assist them, the Philippines is disgraced. Who will be liable? I. The people will execute me right at the Luneta...If I do that, I am inviting trouble within my country or the military and police will oust me,” he added.
Duterte said there is no assurance that the security forces would return the power to civilians once they take over the government.
“How many times did the military intervene in this country? Are you sure that this time they will give it back to the civilians?” he said.
“There’s a lesson to be learned, every coup d’état or every change of radical ways of removing an official of government. Are you sure the military will comply if it means a massacre right there on the beach of Palawan?”
Duterte remains passive amid the public outcry for him to assert the country’s maritime claims against China.
China claims about 90 percent of the South China Sea but this is being disputed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.
In 2016, an international arbitral tribunal ruled in favor of a petition by the Philippines and voided China’s expansive claim. China has refused to recognize the ruling, calling it illegal and a mere piece of paper.
Duterte has said he was ready to set aside the arbitral decision to improve the Philippines’ ties with China.
Critics have accused the President of abandoning the Philippines’ interests in the South China Sea in exchange for Chinese aid but the President denied this, saying he would not give up even an inch of Philippine territory to China.
Duterte reiterated that declaring war with China would only result in a “massacre” of Filipino soldiers.
“I am not prepared to lose my soldiers and policeman for a simple adventurism,” he said.
Clueless
Asked to confirm reports that he got angry when Chinese ships harassed Filipino troops on a resupply mission to Ayungin Shoal, Duterte said he was not aware of the incident.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of it,” Duterte said.
“It would be dangerous for me to answer questions without really having the slightest idea of what it is all about,” he added.
Last month, presidential spokesman Harry Roque confirmed that the Philippines has filed a diplomatic protest against China but declined to elaborate.
Roque made the confirmation after opposition lawmaker Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano revealed that a Philippine Navy ship delivering supply to soldiers stationed on Ayungin Shoal were harassed by the Chinese Coast Guard and naval forces.
Roque did not give specifics about the incident but maintained the President would not give up the Philippines’ rights in the South China Sea. – With Michael Punongbayan

MANILA, Philippines – After criticism of his administration's "weak" response to Chinese bombers landing in South China Sea islands, President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated his belief that he has no other choice but to stay on China's good side as the only other option is to go to war.
"I cannot afford at this time to go to war. I cannot go to a battle which I cannot win and would only result in the destruction and probably a lot of losses for our Armed Forces," said Duterte on Tuesday, May 22.
He was giving a speech at the anniversary of the Philippine Navy, a branch of the military closely involved in defending Philippine sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea.
Duterte reassured the Navy that if he had his way, he would assert the country's claim to the West Philippine Sea, a claim being challenged by China even after a landmark international ruling affirmed it.
"Ako, gusto ko (Me, I want to). I really want to do something to assert," said Duterte.
He also spoke of his "desire to defend, but at the same time, not to make any move that would be destructive to the nation."
The Philippine President even said that he prefers the "violent" option but that he isn't prepared to take this route.
"In my simple calculation, I would have taken a stronger but probably a more violent way of doing it and I said, in my own estimation, it will be a great loss to the nation," he said.
Options other than war
Various experts have reiterated that war and "subservience" to China are not the only options open to Duterte. (READ: 5 ways Duterte can defend Scarborough without going to war)
Acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio and former foreign secretary Albert del Rosario, for example, called on the government to file a diplomatic protest against China. (READ: Talk to China or go to war? 'False option,' Carpio says)
Vietnam, which claims the islands where Chinese bombers landed, has done this.
Del Rosario also said one step is for the Philippines to improve its defense posture and revisit its foreign policy.
Duterte earlier stressed the need to "remain meek and humble" to receive the "mercy" of the likes of Chinese President Xi Jinping. – Rappler.com
