Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr warned against the far-reaching consequences and risks for the Philippines if it were to abrogate its Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States.

Locsin said that while that is the President's prerogative,"the continuance of the agreement is deemed to be more beneficial to the Philippines compared to any benefits were it to be terminated," Locsin said.

Locsin described the VFA as the"substance" that makes the MDT real. The same goes for the EDCA, he added, which is hinged on the VFA. "Without the VFA, the US departments of State and Defense will be hard out to get funds from congress for defense assistance programs to the Philippines," Locsin said.This is seen through annual joint activities between Philippine and US forces. In 2020, some 390 exercises were lined up for the two militaries.

That's what we call more talk more mistakes & less action...

Tell it to duterte

wow

Meron ka rin sinabing Tama ha baka bukas iba na yan bantayan niyo.

Nga nga.

But Bato is more important to dotardte than the VFA. Are you sure you will not lose your job if you will not follow what he likes?🤞

I-.....

Oh? Kala ko ba lets scrap the VFA agreement to US? Ngayon abrogate bibig mo?

Uy medyo natauhan yata ng konti yang si sinloc

Ay naiba yata tune ni Teddy boy. Parang kelan lang nangggalaiti ngayon kalmado na

Hahahaha nauntog ka tay?

Locsin after being possessed by the 12 demons.

How about you say that to Tatay Digs?

Duterte is looking for a way out of his threat. He will withdraw but there must be a good reason. So what's the plan? The senate will pass a resolution for retention of VFA. And Duterte will base his actions on the resolution.

someone took their pill this morning... good for you teddyboylocsin

Nauntog siguro si Teddy 'The Clown' Locsin Jr.

Effect ng gamot...hayy

I'm so confused with the boomer government right now 🤔🤔🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

O, akala ko ok sa kanya to terminate. Why the sudden change of mind? Hirap kse sa mga government officials, nauuna yung sound bites for the media before doing their jobs.

Didn't he earlier reply to the president that he would work right away on the process of abolishing it. Why the turn around? Now he realizes that cutting the agreement is not a wise idea. They shouldn't always listen to Dut, he always makes decisions out annoyance.

It just to show du30 read n ask for opinion b4 opening his mouth, US yes thy wil bcme 2nd largst eco n largest armed forced yet in the intl stage thy r more trustwirthy thn china in intl diplomacy n relation

Very good. Now, slap Duterte's face and spit on it. Because he cannot seem to grasp the consequences of his words...

Then he should tell his master straight to his face.

Change of tune! Takot na macancel ang visa nya!!! 😂

I guess he didn’t want his Fabergé eggs to end up next to President Duterte’s crown jewels in the National Museum in Beijing. Where is your god now?

May sense ka ngayon ha. O baka natakot ka na pagnatapos na gig mo dfa e ban ka na rin sa u.s.

FDPascual Natauhan. Shifting opposites, on second thought, not.

Lets remember TeddyBoyLocsin did this

Did he tell that to dutertes face?

The idiot has changed his tune?

Can’t complain that he acknowledged the agreement’s importance to us, but I’ve got my🤞cos All it takes is a 📞 call from 🇨🇳 for him to start barking against the VFA again.

Hindi maintindihan ano talaga ang gustong palabasin ng bugok na to eh

ay puta bakit pinagsabi mo lagot ka sa amo mo niyan kc pinahiya mo cya.. yabang niyo pa nman ngayo tiklop kayo..

teddyboylocsin can not be more right.

so ano mr Locsin all back to you...dahil sa paniniwala mo sa amo mong buwang..safety ng mga Pilipino ang at risk. 1st untog mo pa lang yan...sana mauntog ka pa ng marami.. bulag kana rin eh..sayang ka..

Di ba ang sarap ng humble pie?

Sabihin mo kay amo, boomer.

Kausapin mo kasi amo mo

Medyo may lucid interval pala...

nakooo sec locsin mas risky kung si canceled ang US visa ni bato dahil iiyak yan ayaw na namin ng drama🤣😝😅😜😂

I’m confused. Weren’t you for the immediate scrapping of the VFA?! It’s better to think and calm yourself down before talking & saying things that you will regret. Nonetheless, I’m glad you’ve had a change of ❤️. The VFA isn’t perfect but it does help PH where we are weak.

You didn't walk your talk, but you are forgiven. Not to scrap VFA is our best option..

Locsin,Owwwws?

I used to respect this man. *sigh*

Nauuna kasi yabang, ayan tiklop pala

Kapit sa mas malakas. Yung matandang tuta ng China malalaos din yan parang si Macoy. Yung US, matatag ang pundasyon. Kahit magpalit-palit ng presidente yun, hindi basta basta magpapalit ng polisiya.

Fears cancellation of visa to the US?😁

He finally came to his senses 😳🤔

Trulili a certified 'Butterfly'....

Change of heart?

haha tanginamo Teddy Girl, binlock mo pa ko sa Twitter duwag ka pala

he recently said it was a smart move to review the agreement and actually praised his president for that, now? 🤮

Oh what happened now? Last week lang go na go ka to start the proceedings

End result is someone eats his words, puro dakdak lng, Vote wisely in the next Election.Pray for Discernment..

One of the Amboys...?

takot siya iiih. Baka iwan siya ni tatay iiih.
