MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Shortly after the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations issued a press release on the results of its inquiry into the landing of a U.S. military plane in NAIA, Senator Risa Hontiveros issued her own statement.

In the press release, Senator Imee Marcos said that the U.S. Embassy had admitted “clerical error” in the failure to obtain proper documentation for the landing.

Hontiveros demanded that the U.S. Embassy name the clerics who committed the error. “The Philippines expects full transparency from the U.S. if it wants to continue our good relations, especially in the light of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, or EDCA,” Hontiveros told The Adobo Chronicles.
