Join us Friday at 11pm EST as we speak to Philippine radio host and columnist Jarius Bondoc about how the Philippines fits into America's Asia Pivot. Mr. Bondoc has written and spoken out against the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement with the United States, which was signed during President Obama's Asia tour, and which will give U.S. forces nearly unlimited access to Philippine bases for future military operations. Mr. Bondoc says that the government of President Aquino violated the constitution by circumventing Senate approval of the deal.Journalist Jarius Bondoc: jariusbondoc@gmail.comFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jarius-Bondoc/1376602159218459Philippine Star Archive: http://www.philstar.com/author/Jarius%20Bondoc/GOTCHARecent Content from the Philippines:The Philippine Star:Aquino Gave Obama 'Everything for Nothing'Philippine Daily Inquirer: U.S. Hardware, Not Nationalist Rants, Can Defend the PhilippinesManila Times:Aquino Defense Pact with Washington 'Unconstitutional'Manila Times:Filipinos, African-Americans and the 'Black Man's Burden'Philippine Daily Inquirer:Except for his Dark Skin, Obama Can Do No Wrong in Philippines
