SC declares EDCA constitutional – sources

From the Manila Bulletin (Jan 12): SC declares EDCA constitutional – sources

The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that the controversial Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) of the Philippines with the United States of America (USA) is constitutional.

According to sources in the SC, with a vote of 10 against 4, EDCA is declared legal.

It upheld the position of Malacanang that EDCA is an executive agreement and does not need the Senate concurrence.
