Description:
- Incoming president Rodrigo Duterte is in favor of continuing the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) with the United States, citing the local military’s limited capabilities. “I have no problem with EDCA-sanctioned use of Philippine military bases by US troops because we don’t have good external defense capabilities,” Duterte said in a press briefing Monday night.
