Albay 2nd district Rep. Joey Salceda wants to know the be-all, end-all of the expanded military presence of the United States (US) in the Philippines. | ManilaBulletin READ:
"What counts as an act of aggression that the US will defend the Philippines from? I think clarity on that scale is also a deterrent to would-be aggressors. Otherwise, what’s the point of having the US here with their big guns?” asked Salceda, who is an administration congressman.
The Bicolano said he'll try to get answers to his questions when the House deliberates on the proposed 2024 budget of the Department of National Defense during the second regular session of the 19th Congress.“I don’t think we should be content with the United States' policy of ‘strategic ambiguity’ in Asia-Pacific. I support the reinvigorated partnership between our countries. But having more US bases here serves their security interests," he further said.
