4.  (C) SUMMARY.  Foreign SecretaQomulo and Defense 
Secretary Teodoro briefed Secretary Qton on damage 
from recent storms and thanked her for USG assistance. 
The Philippines' lead peace negotiator explained his 
work toward concluding by June a comprehensive peace 
agreement with the secessionist Moro Islamic Liberation 
Front (MILF).  Responding to Philippine concern, 
Secretary Clinton said she hoped the Millennium 
Challenge Corporation (MCC) would prove flexible enough 
to take into account the recent devastation in the 
Philippines when considering its candidacy for MCC 
Compact partner status.  Secretary Clinton outlined USG 
non-proliferation goals, and the Romulo welcomed close 
coordination on the subject.  Secretary Clinton outlined 
USG moves to address climate change and noted that the 
upcoming UN conference on climate change could lead to 
the establishment of a financial mechanism for assisting 
developing countries' environmental initiatives. 
Secretary Clinton acknowledged Philippine progress on 
counterterrorism and encouraged further steps to prevent 
extrajudicial killings.  Secretary Clinton and 
Ambassador Marciel urged continued Philippine 
cooperation to press the Burmese government to hold a 
credible dialogue with the Burmese opposition and urged 
Romulo to consider the merits of the Hague Convention on 
the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.  END 
SUMMARY. 
 
--------------- 
DISASTER RELIEF 
--------------- 
 
5.  (C) Foreign Secretary Romulo opened his bilateral 
meeting with Secretary Clinton by inviting Secretary 
Teodoro, who headed Philippine disaster relief efforts, 
to brief on damage from storms in September and October. 
Teodoro explained that the storms had affected over 1.1 
million families and caused damage amounting to 38 
billion Pesos (approximately 808 million USD), 26 
billion of which was in the form of damage to crops. 
The Philippine government continued to operate 400 
evacuation centers and provide air relief services to 
isolated areas.  Portions of the country remained 
flooded, and further rains could still have a severe 
impact. 
 
6.  (C) Teodoro explained that the government was 
working with the UN to expand the scope of its earlier 
 
 
international flash appeal for assistance and would also 
establish public-private partnerships to work on 
rehabilitation and reconstruction; private sector 
involvement would help ensure public monies would be 
well-spent.  Both Teodoro and Romulo effusively thanked 
the Secretary for relief assistance provided by the USG,Qith Teodoro singling out the JUSMAG-Philippines 
Commander and also praising U.S. forces that had been 
diverted from bilateral exercises to help flood victims. 
Romulo noted that U.S. forces who had traveled from the 
southern Philippines were the first to rescue people in 
his flood-affected neighborhood. 
 
7.  (C) Secretary Clinton commended Secretaries Romulo 
and TQro on their government's response to the 
fQng and said the USG would continue to consult with 
the Philippines on the challenges it would face in 
reconstruction efforts.  Ambassador Kenney said the USG 
continued to examine how it might assist, looking 
particularly at environmental and health-related 
technical assistance that could supplement the role of 
the private sector and multinational banks. 
 
---------------------- 
SOUTHERN PEACE PROCESS 
---------------------- 
 
8.  (C) DFA Under Secretary Seguis explained progress in 
the peace process with the MILF.  Seguis, who chaired 
the Philippine government's peace panel, cited its July 
agreement to a cease-fire with the MILF, the September 
agreement on a framework agreement for the formation of 
an International Contact Group (ICG), and the October 
agreement on mechanisms to protect civilian populations. 
Seguis expected to travel to Kuala Lumpur for further 
informal talks with the MILF on November 16.  He hoped 
those talks would allow the two sides to finalize their 
list of state participants in the ICG, and that 
subsequent discussions in December would include an 
exchange of drafts of a comprehensive peace agreement. 
The two sides were expediting their efforts with the 
goal of concluding a peace agreement before the June 
2010 end of President Arroyo's term. 
 
9.  (C) Secretary Clinton asked whether the MILF would 
likely agree to provisions that would allow sufficient 
monitoring and verification.  Seguis replied that he 
would need to see the MILF's draft before he could feel 
confident about such issues.  While having rejected 
prior MILF demands for secession, the Philippine 
government was willing to provide expanded autonomy to 
areas currently under MILF control, but the MILF was 
pushing for more concessions, such as the designation of 
territorial waters and allocation of a greater share of 
natural resources.  Seguis explained the Philippine 
government was willing to make concessions, but only 
within constitutional parameters. 
 
------------------ 
MILLENIUM CHALLENGE 
------------------ 
 
10.  (C) Executive Secretary Ermita reviewed the status 
of Philippine efforts to become an MCC Compact partner. 
He emphasized the Philippines had become eligible in 
2008, but then, having risen in classification from a 
Low Income Country (LIC) to a Lower Medium Income 
Country (LMIC), it had failed by an extremely narrow 
margin to meet the higher standards applied to LMICs. 
Ermita urged that the Philippines be judged according to 
LIC standards.  The Philippine government was currently 
working with an MCC team to assess projects for road 
development, information systems for government revenue 
collection, and the delivery of social services to poor 
areas. 
 
11.  (C) Secretary Clinton welcomed the Philippines' 
progress that had led to its rise to the LMIC category. 
She hoped the MCC's board would decide that the 
 
 
Philippines could remain Compact-eligible, especially 
given that the devastation of recent storms would have a 
serious negative effect on national income.  Secretary 
Romulo noted that the Philippine government had worked 
closely with MCC personnel and found them very 
supportive.  He also thanked Secretary Clinton for other 
U.S. assistance, including nearly 200 million USD in 
benefits for Filipino veterans. 
 
----------------- 
NON-PROLIFERATION 
----------------- 
 
12.  (C) Secretary Romulo praised the Obama 
administration's leadership on non-proliferation and 
said he looked forward to the Philippines chairing the 
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference 
in May.  He noted that Undersecretary Manalo was working 
with the NSC Coordinator for Arms Control and Non- 
Proliferation, while Ambassador Cabactulan was working 
with Special Representative Burk.  Romulo asked 
Secretary Clinton's advice on preparations, both for the 
NPT Review Conference and for the April nuclear security 
summit in Washington. 
 
13.  (C) Secretary Clinton welcomed Philippine efforts 
to date.  It would be important to strengthen the NPT 
and broaden the international non-proliferation regime, 
she said.  She especially hoped the Philippine 
government would use its leadership to keep the NPT 
Review Conference focused on global issues.  Some 
governments would likely try to direct the Conference's 
attention toward the Middle East, and specifically on 
Israel.  The USG was also concerned about the Middle 
East, and on the significant threats posed by Iran and, 
to a lesser extent, Syria; North Korea had also been a 
major proliferator of nuclear technology.  But the 
Conference should consider broad issues not specific to 
particular countries, including the need for greater 
safeguards of nuclear materials, the need to prevent 
covert nuclear programs, and ways to enable countries to 
become peaceful generators of nuclear power. 
 
14.  (C) Secretary Clinton emphasized that the USG stood 
ready to provide the Philippine government with 
technical assistance in the run-up to the Review 
Conference, and the USG's top non-proliferation 
officials stood ready to assist in any way necessary. 
 
-------------- 
CLIMATE CHANGE 
-------------- 
 
15.  (C) Taking note of the upcoming United Nations 
Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December, 
Romulo invited Secretary Clinton to share her thoughts 
on climate change, which he stressed was an important 
issue for President Arroyo.  Secretary Clinton explained 
that the U.S. Congress continued to work on a climate 
change bill, and, while this would not become law by the 
time of the Conference, its progress would show the 
United States' seriousness.  The USG had already taken 
action in the regulatory arena, limiting car and utility 
emissions, and economic stimulus legislation included 89 
billion USD for clean energy technology and 
environmentally-helpful retrofitting projects. 
 
16.  (C) Secretary Clinton said the Copenhagen 
Conference appeared likely to move not toward a legally- 
binding treaty, but rather toward a framework agreement, 
which could include countries voluntarily establishing 
obligations under their domestic laws.  Developed 
countries had an interest in establishing financial 
mechanisms to assist devQping countries with projects 
that would benefit the environment.  The USG could 
provide other governments with ideas and technical 
assistance to help inform their efforts.  Secretary 
Clinton stressed that many environmental initiatives 
would provide an economic boost, rather than interfering 
 
 
with economic growth. 
 
--------------------------------- 
COUNTERTERRORISM AND HUMAN RIGHTS 
--------------------------------- 
 
17.  (C) Turning to counterterrorism (CT), Executive 
Secretary Ermita noted that the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), 
based in the southern Philippines, had connections to Al 
Qaeda and had an interest in undertaking terrorist acts 
throughout the country.  The Philippine government had 
found ASG improvised explosive devices but had prevented 
many attacks, thanks in part to provisions of the 
Philippines' 2007 Human Security Act.  With strong 
interagency cooperation, the Philippine government had 
responded successfully to terrorist threats and had 
killed or captured many ASG leaders.  The Philippine 
government was working to upgrade the capabilities of 
its lead CT unit. 
 
18.  (C) Secretary Clinton acknowledged the importance 
of CT and the threat posed by the ASG and other 
transnational terrorist groups.  The USG wanted to 
continue and deepen intelligence-sharing and military- 
to-military cooperation with the Philippines.  It was 
important, though, that CT efforts not take on a 
repressive character.  The USG has been concerned with 
extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, Secretary 
Clinton said, acknowledging that the Philippine 
government had made progress in this area, leading to a 
reduction in the number of reports of abuses.  She urged 
that the Philippine government give special attention to 
strengthening the prosecution efforts against those 
accused of extrajudicial killings.  She also commended 
the Philippines on the successful visit to the 
Philippines of an International Labour Organization 
delegation in September; previous killings of Philippine 
labor activists had raised concerns. 
 
----- 
BURMA 
----- 
 
19.  (C) Highlighting the recent inauguration of an 
ASEAN human rights mechanism, Secretary Clinton thanked 
Secretary Romulo for the Philippines' leadership within 
ASEAN, and for its support for Aung San Suu Kyi (ASSK). 
The USG was adjusting its approach toward Burma in order 
that democracy might be able to take hold there. 
Ambassador Marciel said the Burmese government clearly 
aimed to marginalize ASSK and the opposition in 2010 
elections.  He urged that the Philippines join in 
encouraging the Burmese government to hold a meaningful 
dialogue with the oppositionQWithout such a dialogue,
