“Bigayan lang kami. Kaya pasalamatan natin [ang U.S.] ... at binigyan ko na sila ng konsesyon. Isinaalang-alang ko ang pagpapatuloy ng ... ang Visiting Forces Agreement.”
What Vera Files found
Noong unang bahagi ng 2020, matatag na sinabi ni Duterte sa isang talumpati na "hindi niya tinatalikuran ang [pag termina ng] VFA," at sa isa pa, sinabing ang bansa ay "walang karapatan na maging isang republika" kung hindi ito mabubuhay nang wala ang US. Matapos ipaalam sa US ang kanyang pagnanais na wakasan ang military pact noong Pebrero 2020, naantala ang pagbasura ni Duterte [sa kasunduan] nang hindi bababa ng tatlong beses.
