There are some points that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants to clarify as regards the PH-US Mutual Defense Treaty when he meets US President Joe Biden, Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez has said.
According to JP Soriano's report on "24 Oras", Romualdez said Marcos had no objection to any provision of the MDT.
“‘Yung sinasabi ni Presidente na 'evolve’. Nage-evolve na nga ngayon actually, so parang any kind of agreement when you look at it and review it,” Romualdez said. He also said the MDT clarified Washington’s position as regards safeguarding Manila’s sovereignty from external forces. For her part, former National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos said any change in the MDT should undergo a proper process.
Meanwhile, security analyst Professor Renato de Castro believes Marcos doesn’t intend to change the MDT but said the President should clarify Washington’s stand on Beijing’s threats in the West Philippine Sea and Manila’s cybersecurity.
