                    [Summary] => The Philippines has removed from Australia’s counter draft of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) a provision that could eventually turn out a "basing" agreement, diplomatic sources said yesterday.


Sources said the Philippine side negotiating with Australia on the SOFA took out the provision that Australia placed in the annexes instead of including it in the major provisions of the defense agreement.
