A new military pact between the Philippines and the U.S. is reportedly under consideration.

The Defense Department was left "extremely concerned" after Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who has said he plans to step down later this year, ended the two-decade-old Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) earlier this month.

Now, diplomats from both countries are looking for "ways and means to see how we can come up with something similar," Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romualdez said at a forum in Manila, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

Add :"Tell us how much you are willing to pay us for the protection of our military before we come. If it's not enough,we are not coming." to the deal,and we have a winner.

We are NOT "the World Daddy" and it's past time for use to keep "paying allowances to unruly children who are not ours."
