between the United States and the Philippines stays unless it is abrogated by
the President.

decided to extend for another six months the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), according
to Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr.
It might be remembered that the VFA
was first suspended in June.

“The past four years have changed the
South China Sea from one of uncertainty about great powers’ intentions to one of predictability and resulting
stability with regard to what can and cannot be done, what will and will not be
acceptable with regard to the conduct of any protagonist in the South China
Sea,” Secretary Locsin said in a letter to White House National Security
Adviser Robert O’Brien.
The letter was posted on Department
of Foreign Affairs (DFA)’s website.
“Clarity and strength have never
posed a risk. It is confusion and indecision that aggravate risk,” Locsin
added. “A great deal of credit for the renewal of stability and security goes
to deft diplomacy, unequivocal expressions of policy, sturdy postures of
strength combined with unfailing tact, and pragmatic national security advice
exhibited by both our governments in the same period. “
“In appreciative recognition
thereof, my President, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, has instructed me to
convey with the appropriate formality his decision to extend the
suspension of the abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement by yet
another 6 months, to enable us to find a more enhanced, mutually
beneficial, mutually agreeable, and more effective and lasting
arrangement on how to move forward in our mutual defense,”
the foreign affairs secretary said.
