THE Philippine defense department has received a list of military equipment that will be given by the Pentagon, the country’s envoy to the United States said on Friday.
President Rodrigo R. Duterte recently demanded that Washington must provide payment for the continuation of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) between the two countries.
Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel G. Romualdez said the list of weaponry to be donated by the US would be enough to “satisfy” the President’s concern regarding the modernization of the Philippine Armed Forces.
More arms and “whatever hardware” the country needs from the US will be coming soon, he said in a televised news briefing.
