The purpose of this study was to find out what caused the Duterte administration to decide and suspend the abrogation of the VFA, and to analyze or interpret it closely. Furthermore, in the case of research methodology, it basically relied on the literature research method, but the author directly presented an ‘analytical framework’ to attempt logical analysis and interpretation within the framework. In the result of research, the Duterte administration’s abrogation issue of the VFA was analyzed and interpreted from the perspective of foreign affairs, security, economy, trade, investment, and OFW’s remittances.
