JUST what I thought. What President Rodrigo Duterte said about cancelling the Visiting Forces Agreement with the US was nothing but soundbites, all for show.

Proof of that is what Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez said that the Philippines and the US may craft another version of the VFA.

It was not that the decision to cancel the VFA was compelled by the wrong reasons, it was that it was simply unbelievable. Our military simply needs a big brother, the likes of the US military.
