in the termination of the Visiting Forces Agreement was well received by the American government, said the Philippine envoy to the United States.

He said the surprising decision of the Philippine government has, in fact, stirred interest among some businesses in the U.S. "There have been reports that many U.S. businesses are pulling out of China for many reasons,” Romualdez continued. “Right now, they are looking at the Philippines once again. In fact, I received several calls from some businessmen in Washington D.C. inquiring how do we see it, how do we proceed.”

“I think the diplomatic note is very clear, we are suspending the termination," he said."The suspension is very well in the hands of the President. The decision to continue with or terminate is the President's decision. We have to leave it like that."
