00:00The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs tackled the Reciprocal Access Agreement, or RAA, between

00:05the Philippines and Japan, which aims to strengthen their defense cooperation.

00:11Defense Secretary Gilberto Todoro Jr. told the Senate Committee the plan is being viewed

00:15as part of the country's strategic partnership with the land of the rising sun as well as

00:21the development of interoperability between the two nations' forces.

00:26Several senators have expressed support to the RAA.

00:30It is our constitutional duty to really vet the disagreement, and I would have wanted

00:39in hindsight to have items such as support for fisheries technology.

00:48It was deemed proper that defense and security cooperation and a reciprocal access agreement

00:54be entered into so that our personnel can train side by side.
