EDCA bases compromises Philippines’ sovereignty, says national university professor

University of the Philippines professor Roland Simbulan opined that the archipelago nation government’s decision to allow the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement sites in the country, has made it a virtual carrier or a forward base for the United States.

“I am sure these countries, which are enemies of the US and which are not necessarily our enemies, are now training and typing the EDCA sites as part of their targets,“ he said. Simbulan’s latest book expands on his critical analysis of the strategic implications of foreign military bases in the Philippines, particularly focusing on the controversial Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement bases.
