Communist Party of the Philippines
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today applauded Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago for initiating a senatorial investigation into the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). The investigation, set to start today, is to be undertaken by the foreign relations committee which Santiago chairs.
“Senator Santiago will serve well the Filipino people’s patriotic cause if she puts her foot down on the EDCA,” said the CPP.
“The Aquino and US government are hoodwinking the Filipino people in claiming that EDCA does not revive the US military bases which have long been opposed by the Filipino people,” added the CPP.
“The so-called ‘Agreed Locations’ within AFP camps provided for by the EDCA are nothing but American military bases since the US military will have exclusive control to land aircraft, dock warships, store weapons and house servicemen in these areas,” said the CPP.
“The demand to trash the EDCA, as well as the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), has become increasingly significant in the wake of the killing of Jennifer Laude by an American serviceman in Subic last October 11,” pointed out the CPP.
“Such killings are bound to happen again as long as the Philippines continues to allow the US to establish its military presence in the country and the region,” pointed out the CPP.
“At any given time, there are thousands of US troops in various parts of the country in outright contempt of Philippine territorial integrity and sovereignty,” said the CPP.
“Under the EDCA and the VFA, US warships freely enter Philippine waters while US jetfighters fly in Philippine airspace and land on Philippine soil anytime they want.”
