Episode 10: War in Iran, Philippines' 'friend to all' policy revisited

Earlier last week US President Donald Trump announced that they have reached an agreement with Iran, but everyone still remained on edge. And as America continues to be preoccupied in the Middle East, it's no surprise that its traditional defense allies are looking elsewhere to make sure their bases are covered.

Dencio Acop and Rodney Jaleco share their expert insights on the latest updates in security and geopolitics.
