Description:
- Chito Sta. Romana, fomer ABC News Beijing Bureau Chief, believes that the Arbitral Tribunal's ruling is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Philippines. He explained it is a challenge in the sense that Manila will have to find a way to make Beijing comply with the Tribunal's decision. For him, the opportunity lies in the new administration's signal of a less adversarial and more conciliatory approach with China.

Description:
- Attending the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore last month, it was virtually impossible to have a conversation about Southeast Asian affairs without a reference to the now newly inaugurated Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and the extent to which his foreign policy approach might depart from that of Benigno Aquino III. Unsurprisingly, the main area of interest in this regard was Duterte’s approach to China and the South China Sea, which will be important to watch in the following weeks after the verdict issued by the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) on July 12.
