Make 'em sign a treaty giving us the rights to the bases for 100 years. Getting tired of our fair weather friends. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars, then they kick us out. In this case, they want us back to offset a threat from China. Fine. Make 'em pay.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. They should pay us for protecting them. What natural resources do they have besides tilapia? Oh, that’s right.. The bar girls are pretty hot.

Compared to being stationed in the Middle East it will be like dying and going to Heaven. There’s a number of military retirees that will be glad to get a PX again.

I thought we pulled out of Clark because Mt. Pinatubo erupted and destroyed the place.

14 piso mojo in that place off West Tapinac...
Of course White Castle Rum must not be forgotten either.

The citizens of Olangapo have to be doing cartwheels of joy hearing this news. Some not, maybe, but most.

Ah, yes, the corner of Magsaysay and Rizal - there’s a Christian Science reading room there. I heard there were other things going on in Olongapo but naturally I wouldn’t know what they were.

MANILA (AFP) - China told its citizens Thursday they were not safe in the Philippines and its state media warned of war, as a month-long row over rival claims in the South China Sea threatened to spill out of control. Chinese travel agencies announced they had suspended tours to the Philippines, under government orders, and the embassy in Manila advised its nationals already in the country to stay indoors ahead of planned protests. http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/13654401/china-warns-citizens-as-row-with-philippines-escalates/

Good point. I just checked Wiki and they say, fwiw, the base had already been closed prior to Pinatubo because lease negotiations had failed. I think there was a skeleton crew still there when the volcano erupted and they pulled out at the last second.
