A phone call was held Wednesday between Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, solidifying the enduring defense alliance between the Philippines and the US.

Expressing condolences for recent tragic events, Austin conveyed sympathy for the victims of the December 3 bombing at the Mindanao State University (MSU) and the casualties resulting from earthquakes in Mindanao.

In response to the US' firm support regarding incidents of harassment against Philippine vessels, Teodoro emphasized the Philippines' sovereign right to address evolving security concerns through capability build-up and continued conduct of rotation and reprovisioning (RORE) missions. The two Secretaries condemned coercive and unprovoked actions, and dangerous maneuvers in the West Philippine Sea and South China Sea.

Commending the professionalism of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Secretary Austin reiterated the ironclad commitment of the US to the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) and the treaty's applicability to armed forces, public vessels, and aircraft ? including Coast

Guards ? anywhere in the Pacific, including the SCS.
