Oh, it's much better known as
SEATO
It's dissolved because of lack of diplomatic interest by the other members in the pact. It's formally out of the question. We do have a de facto alliance with Australia nevertheless, the participate in a lot of defense contracts with us as well as they participate in some occasions in the wars we fight in our homeland.

But it's bad that we depend n them forever. We need to have our own military, possibly something as strong as Japan.
Meh, let's wait after we get a World class healthcare and education system.
Take a look at Noynoy, i am beginning to question his leadership big time, he privatized a lot of companies, healthcare, electricity, water in hopes that private companies can restore them. He cares more of foreign interests in hopes that investment alone may raise the country but investment rates are not yet significantly high, the millions are still in poverty and the economic growth rate only affects those in the middle class whose families are being sent by remittances from their parents or relatives abroad, if you don't have a relative abroad, you can't feel the economic growth. Businesses still don't have sufficient subsidization, the effects of recovering from Gloria's austerity measures are not yet being felt, we are still having the same fare prices, the same gas prices, higher electricity bills, flukes in the government and nothing big is actually being done by the presidential decrees itself to make sure every single corrupt official is put to justice.
His leadership is not corrupt though it's not as competent as desired by the people.
