The argument of the Department of Foreign Affairs that the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement with the United States is an implementing agreement of the Visiting Forces Agreement, which is also the implementing agreement of the Mutual Defense Treaty is an “absurdity,” said an international law expert Merlin Magallona, former dean of the University of the Philippines’ College of Law Monday. EDCA is also “contrary and incompatible” to the respective self-defense clauses of the United Nations Charter and the Philippine Constitution, Magallona said. interaksyon/article/100259/edca-as-an-implementing-treaty-vfa-of-an-implementing-treaty-mdt-is-absurdity---dean-magallona December 1, 2014
