US could increase Pacific presence with return to the Philippines
Twenty years after the US pulled out of its military bases in the Philippines, Washington is in talks with Manila about once again permanently basing ships and soldiers in the Southeast Asian nation.

Interesting. I think they will need it, particularly with China sniffing around Phils waters with potential oil reserves in them.

I remember the american backlash back then,Kanos werent so popular,I walked past the american embassy and saw a stack of riot shields leaning against a banyan tree 
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

I'd tend to agree with that. They already have a couple of so called 'jungle bases' in the Originally Posted by Pete/London

Nowadays they are called "Contractors" you often see them drinking in the Lantaka in Zambo,they LIKE the local womentrainers(and "vice" versa
I wonder if the americans get their foothold in the door whether their Nicole-Smith Pantomime VFA is still on?I think she was given a green card and hush money?

TweetI was living in Angeles city off and on from 1990 until 2003...including when Pinatubo blew its top (except that the roof of my house caved in and everything was looted out of it
).
It was great when the bases were there, and I never had any problems from the locals.
It was estimated that Clark and Subic bases directly and indirectly gave employment to around 500,000 Filipinos.
