Sen. Imee Marcos has urged her brother President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to discuss in his nearing meet with U.S. President Joe Biden new terms and conditions should Manila and Washington extend the initial 10-year term of their Edca. | BPinlacINQ
“Siguro magandang pagkakataon na magkaliwanagan tungkol sa Edca at umpisahan na iyong pagsusuri ng renewal, kung sakaling ire-renew iyong Edca…Since last year na siya, siguro it’s an opportunity to discuss a renewal, if we would like one, under new terms and conditions,” Sen. Marcos told reporters in a chance interview.
Sen. Marcos reiterated the need to revisit the Edca terms and conditions to make it more beneficial for the Philippines. Under the Edca, both countries “agree that the Philippines shall make agreed locations available to the United States forces without rental or similar costs.”But it notes: “The United States forces shall cover their necessary operational expenses with respect to their activities at the agreed locations.”
This brings the total Philippine military bases made accessible to American troops from five to nine.
