Transcript
00:00 The mutual defense treaty between the Philippines and America will not be easily reached.
00:06 US Ambassador to the Philippines Mary Kay Carlson said this in my exclusive interview.
00:12 Defense treaty, it's not an if A then B.
00:17 It's not as if somehow you trip a wire and it's automatically invoked.
00:22 These are negotiations, these are discussions that our countries, our leadership, our militaries have day in day out.
00:29 And I think that what President Marcos said yesterday is exactly where the United States is on this.
00:36 The treaty has great value as a deterrent in showing that we are strong together.
00:42 It's been more than 70 years since the signing of the mutual defense treaty in 1951.
00:48 In the previous administration, it was called for revision, but Ambassador Carlson did not see the need for this.
00:58 As President Marcos has said, that the mutual defense treaty has stood the test of time.
01:03 That it's nimble enough to handle the situation, the current situation that we're all facing.
01:08 So I don't see a need to revise it, but certainly it is a living document
01:13 and one that we continue to address and assess through our day to day operations.
