Maybe the Filipinos should not have kicked the US Navy out of Subic Bay. The Chi-Coms would not feel so confident.

Maybe those Philipinos should not have died while trying to help our soldiers being force marched to death either, on the death march of Bataan. And the Japanese shot many of them when they tried to bring food and water to our soldiers...

We have very close ties with the Philippine people we still are allies militarily. They and we are fighting Jihadists in the Philippines who are trying to take over the country. Most of this fighting is done in secret. But we still have a presence there...

The US has done far more for the Philipines and Filipinos than the other way around.

Including giving them military helicopters and intelligence fighting their Muslim insurgents/terrorist.

Kicking the US out of Subic Bay was not only a slap in the face to the US but strategically stupid for them.
