DEFENSE Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. led a team that updated senators on Wednesday on the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, but was confronted with questions from the chair of the Foreign Relations committee about the selection of new EDCA sites.
The committee chairperson, Sen. Imee Marcos, asked for details the latest plan to construct four more US military bases in the Philippines as part of EDCA’s implementation. She echoed concerns from local government officials whose jurisdictions were reportedly designated as new EDCA sites. Marcos also told the Executive to prioritize the construction of unfinished EDCA bases, noting that only five of the 21 sites previously agreed upon were so far completed.
