The Hill: Duterte restores pact allowing US war exercises
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte recommitted his country to a key military agreement with the U.S. during a visit by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin after repeatedly threatening to terminate the pact.
Austin, along with Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, announced the restoration of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) during a joint press briefing from Manila on Friday.
Austin thanked Duterte for the renewal, adding, “A strong, resilient US-Philippines alliance will remain vital to the security, stability and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific," according to CNN.

First Vietnam. Now Philippines. Next stop should be RoK.
There seems to be movement with the vote audits... the Republicans seem very confident that they can now prove the election theft. On the corporate media and big tech side, who colluded in the takeover, we now see full on denial these audits exist, more people nabbed including from fox...
It's getting hot.
I don't see Republicans backing down ice watched this now for months and they went throug the audit and did the work and it seems what some here believed, that several interest groups, not just Democrats, colluded for the election coup seems to be true
That also means we will see some people hang this or next year, because this is as treasonous behaviour as it gets in a democracy. A true coup.
Not sure about the hangings, maybe your military puts them in front of a wall, but there will be capital punishment for sure if it's all true...
