“Ang makasaysayang arbitral win ng Pilipinas noong Hulyo 2016 laban sa China sa South China Sea dispute ay "isang piraso lamang ng papel" na "itatapon niya sa basurahan.”
Rodrigo Duterte Claim dated 5 May 2021.

What Vera Files found

Sa kanyang talumpati sa ika-75 sesyon ng United Nations General Assembly noong Setyembre 2020, "mahigpit na tinanggihan" ni Duterte ang mga pagtatangka na "pahinain" ang desisyon ng Permanent Court of Arbitration. Inihayag niya na ang award ng arbitral court ay "bahagi na ngayon ng international law, na higit sa kompromiso at hindi abot ng mga nagdadaang mga gobyerno para palabnawin, pahinain, o talikdan."
