I’d like to see the Naval bases reopened in the Philippines. The Navy should be returned to “The P.I.”!!!
My Fil sis-in-law was there when Mt Pinatubo erupted, and at the same time the previous govt didn’t want the bases operating. There’s a saying that the reason why the US left Pampanga/Subic was not because of the limp-wristed RP govt was because Pinatubo drove them away. Due to the large amount of ash that fell on half the world, it was a logistical disaster to clean up the bases.
