Austin also reiterated Washington’s ironclad commitment to the defense of the Philippines, further saying that the two nations’ Mutual Defense Treaty applies to armed attacks against their armed forces, coast guard vessels, public vessels, or aircraft in the Pacific, including anywhere in the South China Sea.
Austin emphasized the degree of participation by combined military forces of allied nations under the Balikatan Exercises “I look to a very bright future between the Philippines and the United States – a future that is founded on the long experience and as you say, friendship and familial relationship because the people-to-people exchanges between our two countries have been ongoing at every level,” he also said.
