The Department of National Defense and Armed Forces of the Philippines welcomed the addition of four sites under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement with the United States, noting that the move would further boost the country’s capabilities to protect its national interests as well as contribute to collective defense in the region.
“Our Armed Forces’ strengthened presence in the new locations, especially along our eastern and western seaboards, will enable our troops to quickly respond to distress calls, and protect our fishermen’s rights and livelihood to fish in our waters,” he added. “We shall be closely coordinating with our counterparts in the United States Armed Forces for the realization of these objectives,” he added.
Additionally, EDCA projects are also seen to benefit the Philippines economically through the provision of jobs and other economic opportunities in the construction activities in the Agreed Locations and procurement of local goods and supplies by the US military and personnel. “Napakahalaga ng sama-sama nating pagbabalik-tanaw sa mga naiambag ng ating mga beterano sa ating natatanging kasaysayan, kasalukuyan at kinabukasan,” Galvez said.
