PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Monday the government is not inclined to give the United States access to more Philippine military bases under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA).

'The answer to that is no. The Philippines has no plan to open or to establish more EDCA bases,' Marcos said in response to a question posed during a Q&A session with the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines.
