A resolution recognizing the United States-Philippines alliance on the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the 75th anniversary of the Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States of America and the Republic of the Philippines, and the 10th anniversary of the landmark arbitral award upholding Manila's sovereignty against escalating aggression and lawfare by the People's Republic of China in the South China Sea.

This Senate resolution commemorates three major milestones in the relationship between the United States and the Philippines: the 80th anniversary of diplomatic ties, the 75th anniversary of the Mutual Defense Treaty, and the 10th anniversary of a 2016 international court ruling that rejected China's territorial claims in the South China Sea. The document formally acknowledges the historical bond between the two nations while condemning China's continued refusal to accept the 2016 arbitral award and its aggressive actions in the region. It highlights recent joint military exercises, expanded defense cooperation agreements, and economic initiatives like the Luzon Economic Corridor as evidence of a strengthened alliance. Ultimately, the resolution urges the President to maintain strong support for the Philippines in defending its sovereignty and upholding freedom of navigation in the Indo-Pacific.
