Zosimo Paredes, executive director of the VFA Commission (VFAcom), said the Legislative Oversight Committee on the Visiting Forces Agreement (LOVFA) of the Senate can absorb the functions of the office once it is abolished.


He said the VFAcom’s functions could also be farmed out to other government agencies.

                    [Summary] => The Philippine government is set to abolish and replace the commission overseeing the implementation of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with the United States following Manila’s failure to take custody of four US Marines accused of raping a Filipina last November.


The move came amid indications that Zosimo Paredes will be replaced as executive director of the VFA Commission (VFAcom) in an effort to strengthen the monitoring body.


Paredes has said he is ready to be replaced following the custody fiasco.
