Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said there was no
"contradiction nor inconsistency" in the statements made by several government officials regarding the submission of papers to the US about the termination of the Visiting Forces Agreement .
"This representation was merely quoting the President when he said that he would instruct the Executive Secretary to tell the Department of Foreign Affairs to send a notice of termination to the United States on the VFA. To be clear, this representation did not say that the directive of the President to the Executive Secretary has already been issued or given. The said instruction from the tenor of the President using the future tense is just forthcoming.
