Group 1 - The Philippines and Canada signed the Visiting Forces Agreement to allow joint military exercises and expand their security alliance, primarily aimed at addressing China's military activities in the South China Sea [1][2] - This agreement is the first of its kind between Canada and a country in the Indo-Pacific region, aligning with Canada's strategy to enhance its military presence in the area since the announcement of its new Indo-Pacific strategy in 2022 [2] - The agreement requires approval from Philippine President Marcos and a two-thirds majority in the Senate to take effect, indicating a structured legal framework for military cooperation [1][2] Group 2 - The Philippines has previously signed similar agreements with the US, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, and is currently negotiating with France and the UK, while considering talks with Germany and India [2] - Analysts suggest that the Visiting Forces Agreement is a geopolitical move to align with the US Indo-Pacific strategy, which may not contribute to regional stability and could lead to strategic disadvantages for the Philippines [3] - The introduction of external military forces is viewed as potentially counterproductive to regional peace, as historical precedents indicate that such actions often lead to division rather than security [3]
