— The extent of the United States’ use of new Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement sites in the country will still have to be discussed, Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo said when asked if the Philippines will allow the US to store its military assets for the defense of Taiwan.
These are on top of the five existing sites in Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, and Palawan. “And if there are any activities there, they also provide benefits to the local communities,” he added. “The purpose of many of these locations should really be viewed in that context and those are where the real benefits would arise.”
