President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday said his government will seek a review of the treaty agreements signed between the Philippines and its long-time ally, the United States, while seeking more partnerships and enhance current deals on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
“We have to evolve it. It has to evolve,” the President said, noting the changes in the situation in the South China Sea, events in Taiwan and in North Korea. “The situation is heating up a bit,” he said.Mr. Marcos said the MDT and the Visiting Forces Agreement will be among the topics that he will take up with US President Joe Biden during his official working visit to Washington starting May 1.
The meeting between Mr. Marcos and Mr. Biden will take place as tension between the US and China escalates due to the issue in Taiwan. China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory. On Friday, Filipino, American, and Australian special troops conducted resupply bundle drop operations in the coastal waters of Barangay Punta Baja, Rizal, Palawan as part of this year’s “Balikatan” exercises.
“This realistic scenario is designed to train the participants in the effective conduct of resupply missions in a denied area,” the Wescom post said. Among the participants were the PCG, 2nd Special Operations Unit of the Philippine National Police Maritime Group, and the US armed forces.
