The Philippines’ Secretary of National Defense Gilbert Teodoro visits the Lal-lo airport in the north of the country, which is being used as a base by both Filipino and US military aircraft carrying aid as part of a joint disaster response to Typhoon Doksuri.

Lal-lo is one of the sites open for use by US troops as part of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement — a deal that allows US forces to rotate through and store defence equipment and supplies at selected areas in the Philippines. Teodoro defends the agreement, saying that the airport’s /”proximity to Taiwan is a geographical accident/” and if /”other people are paranoid about it, it’s their problem./” (Video Courtesy of AFP)
