he's been the strongest voice in the philippine government, speaking up for the philippines territorial claims and protecting them and he hasn't always been particularly strong on there. given the duterte's government, he's been sort of the strongest voice in maintaining you as alliance and protecting philippine territory, maritime claims. so having him come out and the cimber and with the series of statements continuing into last weekend, calling for a review of the mutual defense treaty with the united states, and questioning openly questioning its relevance now and think that you know, that the philippines should sit down with the united states, reviewed the treaty obligations. if it's no longer relevant, it's an option. in his words. so that obviously is concerning and surprise a lot of people. but i think if we step back, i think what this is about is a real legitimate, in my view, concerned that the philippines have about what exactly are the commitments that united states sees in the mutual defense treaty? success of the administration's have been rather vague on that question. c
