MANILA, Philippines — Senator Imee Marcos on Wednesday said it appears that the government is now relying on 'foreigners' for its external defense following the approval of four more Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (Edca) sites in the country. During an inquiry, Marcos, who chairs the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, reiterated that Edca's primary objective is no longer the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)'s modernization but disaster preparedness, maritime security, and counterterrorism.
