「Marcos says new military bases with US to be 'scattered' around the Philippines」:  どんな雲いき?

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said on Wednesday that four new military bases under a defense agreement with the U.S. would be located in various parts of the Philippines, including in a province facing the South China Sea.

ま、日本にとっては悪いことではありませんね。

The Philippines and the U.S. would announce the locations of the bases soon, Marcos said, adding the sites would boost the country's ability to defend the "eastern side" of its largest island, Luzon. Luzon is the closest main Philippine island to self-ruled Taiwan that China claims as its own.

米軍が一度撤退したのは痛かったです。ただ、フィリピンには米軍の闇が当時あり、当時のフィリピン政権的にどうしょうもなかったようです。　一言では、米兵が現地で問題を起こしすぎ（元米軍の知り合いが認めてました）、最近でこそ静かですが、同じ境遇の日本人は、理解できると思います。

"We generally believe that defence cooperation between countries should be conducive to regional peace and stability, and should not be aimed at third parties or harm the interests of third parties," spokesperson Wang Wenbin told reporters at a regular news briefing.

日本も応援しなくては。

Washington has committed $80 million worth of infrastructure investments at the five existing sites - the Antonio Bautista Air Base in Palawan, Basa Air Base in Pampanga, Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija, Benito Ebuen Air Base in Cebu and Lumbia Air Base in Mindanao.

いい感じ。

"The external security environment is becoming more complex. It is becoming more unpredictable," Marcos said.

親の時代は、腐敗まんてんでしたが、大統領まともなことを言っているので一安心?

今のところは．．．
