Despite the decision of some militant groups to challenge the constitutionality and legality of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement at the Supreme Court (SC), Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin expressed hope that this development will not impede the implementation of the EDCA.
He made this statement in wake of the SC's ordering Malacanang, Department of Foreign Affairs and Department of National Defense to come out with comments justifying EDCA's signing.
"I think the EDCA implementation would not be delayed, and right now it's still on the planning stage," Gazmin said.
He also stated that their comment will be formulated during the meeting sessions of the Mutual Defense Board and the Security Engagement Board.
