Radyo Inquirer 990AM
MANILA, Philippines – Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Secretary General
Renato Reyes on Monday sided with Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago in saying
that the Visiting Forces Agreement must go.
“Senator Santiago was right in saying the VFA should be scrapped,” he said in
an interview with Radyo Inquirer 990AM.
The issue cropped up following an investigation launched by the Subic Bay
Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) on a US Navy contractor which allegedly dumped
toxic waste in Philippine waters.
The senator has earlier suggested that the country terminate the VFA
following reports on SBMA’s investigation on Glenn Defense Marine Asia.
For more of the interview, listen to Radyo Inquirer 990AM.
