[Title] => RP receives US body armor under new pact
[Summary] => Philippine troops have received 500 sets of body armor from the United States, a military official said.
Maj. Gen. Cicero Castellano, Armed Forces’ deputy chief of logistics, said the items were obtained through the government’s Mutual Logistics and Support Agreement (MLSA) with the United States.
"We are trying to prove that the MLSA is an effective facility to procure (defense items) for the use of our troops," Castellano told reporters.

[Title] => Ople pledge generates political heat
[Summary] => Incoming Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople has not yet even been sworn in by President Arroyo as her newest Cabinet member, but his confession to be a friend of the United States and his pledge to work for closer Philippine-US ties are slowly generating political heat.
Trying to be diplomatic, Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr., Ople’s predecessor as chief of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), said Friday night he can only gauge the new foreign affairs secretary if his words match his actions.

[Title] => Guingona: Let’s be self-reliant
[Summary] => Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr. has urged the government to institute economic self-reliance so that Filipinos will not be reduced to being "servants in our own land."
Guingona also cautioned the Arroyo administration to go easy on global free trade, and said the Philippines must ask for special preferential treatment to enable the country to face challenges brought about by the World Trade Organization treaty lifting trade barriers.

[Title] => ‘MLSA not tied to US aid to AFP’
[Summary] => No strings attached.
This was how Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes described yesterday the proposed approval of the controversial RP-US Mutual Logistics and Support Agreement (MLSA).
The agreement, Reyes said, is not tied to any military or financial aid from the United States government to the Philippines, even as he admitted that Malacañang’s failure to give its go-signal to the pact could be inimical for the country.

[Title] => ‘MLSA does not need Senate ratification’
[Summary] => President Arroyo said an agreement between Manila and Washington which would give the US military access to local facilities anywhere in the country during joint exercises need not be ratified by the Senate.
Because the so-called Mutual Logistics and Support Agreement (MLSA) is just "an accounting arrangement" between the US and Philippine militaries and not a treaty, Mrs. Arroyo said Senate approval is unnecessary.
"It does not need Senate concurrence because it is not a basing agreement," Mrs. Arroyo said.

[Title] => Reyes submits MLSA draft to GMA for review
[Summary] => This certainly cut some red tape.
Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes, chairman of a three-member Cabinet committee drafting the Mutual Logistics and Support Agreement (MLSA) between the Philippines and the United States, said he has submitted the document directly to President Arroyo for review and final approval.
But with the President acting as foreign affairs secretary in concurrent capacity, the draft did not have to go through a circuitous route. By submitting it to the President, the draft MLSA automatically reached the Palace.
