Aquino’s success in bringing the decades-old MILF rebellion to a peaceful end highlights a courage and tenacity that will enable him to play a key role in reining in China’s regional ambitions. Just as David’s ingenuity enabled him, against all odds, to defeat Goliath, Aquino’s bold and calculated leadership can succeed in bolstering stability and security throughout Asia by bringing China, perhaps against its will, into a rules-based regional order.
阿基诺三世成功地将维持了几十年的MILF起义引向和平结束，这充分表现出令他能够在遏制中国地区野心中扮演关键角色的勇气和韧性。正如大卫（David）的巧思让他能够破除万难战胜歌利亚（Goliath），阿基诺三世有勇有谋的领导也能够对中国敲山震虎，从而促进整个亚洲的稳定与安全。
