Land Disputes Hinder U.S. Military's Use of Philippine Bases

Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro reported that U.S. military access to Philippine bases remains low due to unresolved land disputes. These issues are hampering the full implementation of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA).

The bases, which are pivotal for strategic military operations, face obstacles related to land tenure, stalling further utilization.

Teodoro discussed these challenges with broadcaster ABS-CBN, emphasizing the necessity of resolving these disputes to optimize the use of the EDCA sites.
