Palace: Edca sites are beneficial during disaster response
Malacañang highlighted that Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) sites are beneficial during disaster response.
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro stated that these EDCA sites function as crucial hubs for delivering assistance more rapidly to communities in need.
Castro cited Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija as an example, saying it serves as a repacking site for relief goods and a shelter for fishermen.
She mentioned that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is currently gathering the latest updates on the ongoing efforts and the extent of assistance being provided through these sites.
The EDCA agreement is designed to boost US and Philippines security cooperation and has been seen as furthering the Philippines' disaster response capabilities.
