ps: i forgot how to reply with quote
The US doesn't want a base in the Philippines so it isn't coming back. The base in the Philippines existed in a different time where the Soviet Union was still a factor. It's location is negligible since the US has carriers and the US already carries out bombing missions that bomb Middle East targets, yet flying out of the middle of the American continent. Plus the US still has bases everywhere. One of it's main bases is in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The entire US military is also downsizing and getting more streamlined ... so the US doesn't really want another base to support.
So no ... there is nothing that would be favorable to the US to re-establish a base in the Philippines. Filipino politicians shouldn't have caused a fuss in the first place. But hey, Pinoys like to feel patriotic even when feeling patriotic costs them something. Many Pinoys act like kids ... and most politicians are kids in power.
The Philippines has a third of the population of the US. It wouldn't be able to support itself as a state if it had to meet the standards to be an American state and would bankrupt the American economy.

Bim: I know where you are comming from but you can ponder for the next 20yrs of your life and you will prob not be satisfied with an answer.
The fact of the matter is whether you or me or pinoys in general like it or not NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD has or will ever help us like the kano's. Those are the facts of life. Deal with it and (like we say in the gaming world) stop whining.
If you don't like how the pinoys think...then run for presidency and make a CHANGE. Sitting in front of a computer monitor and asking 'why why why' surely will do nothing.
When you comment about the millions of pinoys who are abroad and "wanna be american citizens" i think is just wrong and disrespectful!!! And you owe them an apology! Pinoys go abroad for one reason only...to WORK AND EARN MONEY! Then send it back sa pinas aron mka tilaw pud atong pamilya ug kalipay. Basin wala kai mga relatives sa gawas nga mag padala ug pasalubong nmo and now you are just sour Just remember bai, majority of the philippine income is from remittance from family members abroad
Kasabot ko na ang territorial issue between sa Tsina ug sa Pilipinas is alarming. But at the same time, dili ko maka-uyon na ibalik ang mga Amerikano para mutabang nato. It's like letting an invader invade our country in order to ward off another invader.
In the first place, dili man gyud dapat maghilabot ang Estados Unidos aning isyu. Kitang mga Pilipino ang dapat na modepensa sa atong kaugalingong teritoryo. And as far as we're concerned, this issue is between China and the Philippines.
Mura gud ug balay ninyo. Ikaw na tag-iya sa balay ang dapat magbantay ug maningkamot na dili masudlan ug dili iladong tawo ang imong balay. Dili nimo suguon ang imong kaatbang na magbantay para nimo.
At this point, we may have to prepare ourselves for what could happen. Hopefully, though, ma-resolve ni in a peaceful way.
