The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Wednesday said the country’s Mutual Defense Treaty with the US is beneficial for the military as it beefing up its capability in protecting the nation.
AFP spokesperson Col. Medel Aguilar issued the statement as the MDT between the Philippines and the US observed the 72nd signing anniversary of the agreement on Wednesday.Signed on August 30, 1951, the MDT is an accord that stipulates that the Philippines and the United States would support each other if either of them were to be attacked by an external party.
“The mechanisms under it shall continue to be implemented to further enhance the capability of the AFP to perform its constitutional duty of protecting our national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Aguilar said. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III previously reiterated that an armed attack on Philippine armed forces, aircraft and public vessels, including the Coast Guard, anywhere in the South China Sea, would invoke Washington DC’s mutual defense commitments under Article IV of the MDT.
