Once again RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement or VFA is lurking again its way to our country. Militant umbrella group Bagong Alyansa Makabayan or “Bayan” marched to the US Embassy in Manila to oppose and scrap VFA.

A statement by BAYAN secretary, General Renato Reyes Jr. in their website www.bayan.ph,

“How can (US President Barack) Obama say there is change when the US continues to have virtual military bases in the Philippines and when Filipinos are treated as second-class citizens in their own country? How can we say there is change when a convicted American rapist is being kept by the US government outside the custody of the Philippine government?”

BAYAN also said that Filipino Americans in the US also joined the protest fro scrapping the VFA.
