In a rare instance, President Duterte was friendly to the United States, which he once spurned for China, and asked the global superpower not to forget the Philippines, a treaty ally.

This came after Washington sent 6.2 million vaccines—3.2 million Janssen and 3 million Moderna—in a span of three weeks. More are expected to come as the United States is also poised to distribute its surplus of Astrazeneca vaccines.

This was an unusual statement from the Chief Executive who was vocal of his admiration of China and has once cursed Biden’s friend and partymate, former US President Barack Obama. The United States, though not party to the territorial issue, insists its interest in ensuring freedom of commerce and navigation, as well as peace and stability in the region.

Duterte, during his address to the nation, admitted that the termination of the abrogation of the VFA was a “give-and-take” strategy.
