| 520 | _aPhilippine President Rodrigo Duterte has decided to terminate the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) between the Philippines and the US which will further cool the ties between these two countries. The VFA allows military personnel from either country visa and judicial privileges, among other benefits as well as the US rights to operate vessels and aircraft in the Philippines freely. The termination hence marks a significant step away from the long-term alliance and could complicate US military exercises in the region. | ||
