West Philippine Sea (PNA file photo) Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the country has learned its lesson after United States did not keep its word under the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) to aid the country when it was dealing with the territorial dispute years ago. Under the Philippines-United States defense pact signed in 1951, both nations are bound to come to the aid of another in case of an external armed attack. “Mayroon na tayong karanasan sa tinatawag na collective security arrangements kasama na diyan ang Mutual Defense Treaty pero naging karanasan natin na bagamat may sulat na tayo’y bibigyan ng saklolo kapag tayo ay nalusob ay nawalan tayo ng dalawang isla (We have experience on collective security arrangements including the Mutual Defense Treaty. But based on our experience, although it was written that we will be given assistance in case of an attack, we lost two islands),” he said during an online press briefing Monday, April 19.
