Quick name one US base in the Philippines....

That is still occupied?

Clark AFB & the US Navy Subic Bay port both decommissioned I think. I believe Clark AFB was decommissioned because of volcanic activity.

Absolutely correct there are NO US military Bases presently in the Philippines.

Terminating a Visiting Forces Agreement means absolutely nothing right now except now China can annex the Philippines at their leisure.

...@ the internet...1...CLARK AFB & SUBIC BAY NAVAL BASE WERE GIVEN TO CHINA & HAVE BEEN RE-BUILT...2...DUTERTE SAID THE USA IS A RAT-HOLE & HE WILL NEVER RETURN...3...DUTERTE SAID "HE WANTS TO TAKE OUT THE S.O.B. TRUMP"...3...FILIPINOS CONTROL ALL YOUR PASSWORDS & CASH AT U.S. BANKS THRU "OVERSEAS TELEPHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE"...4...FILIPINOS HAVE INFILTRATED U.S. HOSPITALS & HAVE ALREADY STARTED KILLING U.S. PATIENTS...5...FILIPINOS HAVE ALWAYS SECRETLY HATED AMERICANS AND THEY KILLED THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS IN WORLD WAR II ...6...CHINA & FILIPINOS WILL KILL OFF AMERICA VIA BANKS & HOSPITALS......@ THE INTERNET...

Hey Mr genius, we have a lot of forces still operating in Philippines.


"EDCA allows the expansion of rotational deployment of U.S. ships, aircraft and troops at five bases in the Philippines as well as the storage of equipment for humanitarian and maritime security operations. "

Link is banned, rooters, but from 2017.

Its a gesture. They are officially, publicly flipping usa the bird.

those military guys act like even worse shitbags overseas

The agreement exempted the US forces from local laws - now they can be prosecuted and have no immunity if they commit a crime.

You sure did like the good ol USA in ww2 when we came and kicked out all those Japanese that was raping and killing you all.. that was not very long ago.

Duerte was bought off by Chinese munny....just Like the Clinton mob.

Look st usa...they are throwing billionaire Bloomturd vs billionaire Trump.

While America slept whores and perverts were hired to enslave the masses.

Winning.


Are we going out like this??

Result of all the rapes by troops of both countries?

FLIPS

what Duterte want is to be neutral before the CHINA and USA we don't want to be pawn when conflict between US and CHINA occurs

anyway it is a big gamble for our president to be neutral or balancing both countries in both parties ..... and the things have been heating up recently with the appearing of the corona virus .......... and there would be a BLAMING GAME for the corona virus incident[ Just my analysis though]

if there is a BLAMING GAME..... the questions is which country is the best LIAR ........ CHINA OR USA

Fake news. Its SOFA not VFA. They made the threat and there is process in the agreement for removal. It'll take years. But still BS chinacommie propaganda.

Globalists use the American empire as weapon of social control and force globohomo on nations who don't want it. This is the result.

 

ever since Trump came to power most countries want us out.

ironically Trump campaigned on bringing the troops home but even after they tell us to leave Trump keeps them there

USA should get out of all military and financial entanglements that are not part of an America First agenda.

no...... here in the Philippine news tv it is VFA

The Philippines has become the call-center capital of the world:

sounds like china's working them over to squeeze in.

fuck off.... have fun with your virus...

And, yet: if they are hit with an EQ, or tsunami or volcanic eruptiom, who do you think they'll beg for help?

Lol yup.

Their leader is an impulsive shit-for-brains who thinks he has any sort of tug or sway in the region. The only reason the Philippines still exist is because they've enjoyed a generally friendly relationship with the U.S.

But now, as you stated...good luck Duterte!

I'm not butthurt over this at all. Good for them.

in before President Sanders unleashes the NPA

The US has base in Calarian, Zamboanga City which is located within Edwin Andrews Air Base. There are US Special Forces and Marines assigned there. The numbers are only in the hundreds though.

Both bases have been decommissioned since the 90's

subic bay?
