The Philippine government is open to forging military pacts with countries like the United Kingdom based on mutual benefits following the decision to scrap the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with the United States, Malacañang said Tuesday.

But for now, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said President Duterte prefers the country to depend on its resources in fortifying its national defense and security.

“But the President said it’s about time we rely on ourselves. We will strengthen our own defenses and not rely on any other country,” he added. “But as the President said, it’s about time we rely on our own resources. We have to strengthen our own capability as a country relative to the defense of our land. Iyon ang pinaka-ano ni Presidente, mahirap iyong we keep on relying, lalo tayong humihina .”

“Napaka-bastos ng Amerikano, talagang sobrang bastos ,” he said at an assembly of local government executives in Pasay City Monday night. “Even then, still that’s the voice of U.S. government speaking to us through an equal branch of the three branches of government in the U.S.,” he said. “Cancelling [the] U.S. visa of Senator Bato is an executive function, not the Senate of the U.S., immigration iyon eh, executive iyon.”

kala ko ba tumayo sa sariling paa at wala ng treaty kahit kanino?

Didn’t you also say: “we are not shifting alliances to China - or any other countries”? Gobyernong hilo!

So bat kinacella pa yun vfa pakikipag vfa din naman pala sa iba. Talaga ng gusto ninyo sa China

China. putris kayo!

My Jesus Christ Lizard!!! Even St. Peter won't visit & call your Name.

Pinaparinggan nyo ang China? If China can just build military facilities in Philippine territory without Duterte complaining about it, why would it seek formal agreement?

👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️👊👊

With china? No need. Du30 has long given VFA (Very Friendly Accommodation) to those tsekwa occupiers, which is infinitely better than his oppressive, despotic and tyrannical treatment of non-dds Filipinos.

Hahaha plano ba nila to para bigyan ng chances ang China? Sana nmn hndi.

Laki ng SOP ng mga to sa communist party of china

other countries = People's Republic of China
