Nacionalista-Makabayan senatorial candidate Rep. Liza Maza of Gabriela expressed dismay over the latest decision of the Supreme Court affirming the constitutionality of the US-RP Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).

"The Supreme Court decision shows the Philippine government’s continued subservience to the interests of the United States government,” Maza said.

Maza is a co-petitioner in the joint motion with former senator Jovito Salonga, together with Evalyn Ursua, the lawyer of alleged rape victim Suzette Nicolas, and lawyer Neri Colmenares representing militant groups Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan).
