On April 11 and 12, nasa White House siya, and together with Japan, and together with President Biden, with Fumio Kishida, there's gonna be this trilateral which I call JAFOS, Japan-Philippine-US trilateral.

And base sa mga alam natin, mukhang confirmed na na shortly after this trilateral meeting sa White House, magsasign ng Pilipinas at Japan ng isang reciprocal access agreement,

under which, potentially, I'm saying potentially because there's still a lot of domestic dynamics in Japan, the Komeito Party might say no against it, but potentially Japan may not only expand drills and exercise with the Philippines, not only expand defense equipment exports to the Philippines,

but Japan may also look at its own version of Visiting Forces Agreement, or even rotational access to some of the bases in the Philippines, even though the Japanese Foreign Ministry has denied the rotation.

But I won't be surprised, all of these things will be part of the discussion coming next week.

And the other thing is, ang basa ko dito is, Biden administration is really trying to tie in Marcos into the Taiwan question.

Na huwag na kayo maghanas-hanas dyan, eto na, kailangan natin mag-prepare for Taiwan, so bigyan na kami ng access at bigyan namin kayo ng armas, let's go, let's do this, right?
