CMarquezINQ VFA is in the national interest of PH. Terminating it is based on the whimsical tendency of Gongdi. Governance should not be conducted out of pique and perceived personal slight. Sen. Bato? is not worth the termination of VFA.

After Duterte threat, Philippines now working on VFA termination – PalaceThe Philippine government is now working on the process of terminating the Visiting Forces Agreement between the Philippines and United States— a day after President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to scrap the 1998 deal over the cancellation of Senator Bato Dela Rosa’s visa. Duterte cant do shit against China despite their countless harassment to our property and Filipino fishermen yet would go this far just because of Bato's visa termination. 😐 Reality check: no world leaders will ever attempt to invade other nations... more so on the Philippines.

Lorenzana on VFA scrap threat: Duterte just taking responsibility on drug warDefense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana disclosed on Friday that President Duterte's threat to terminate the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with the United States was a manifestation of his promise to take responsibility for the repercussions of his anti-illegal drugs campaign. Ang layo naman po ng reasoning nyo. But sige, for the sake of argument, do we really have to sacrifice our national security dahil lang sa cancelled visa ni bato? The VFA has been there for several years and for sure naman malaki ang tulong nyan satin. Prelude ba to ser? Another ayala soldier has revealed himself.

Palace: US Senate move also made Duterte junk VFAPresident Duterte’s decision to terminate the Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States was due to an “accumulation” of factors and not just the cancellation of the US visa of Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, Panelo said. Palusot ka Panelo! Congress lang puedeng magterminate ng VFA. Sabagay control nyo ang congress! So dare your threat let us see the result. Taiwan has agreed already to have their US base! Matira ang matibay! Come on, a decision based on the visa of one person, how important could he be in the scheme of things that the security of more than a 100 million people are put at ridk because of him? It would've been believable but Duterte said he won't junk the VFA if dela Rosa's visa is reinstated within one month.
