The United States has renewed its commitment to support the Philippines by agreeing to a 10-year agreement that will give American warships, planes and troops greater access to bases in the archipelago.
The deal, which was welcomed by majority of Filipinos, was the centerpiece when President Barrack Obama visited the Philippines on 28 April 2014 The agreement will also mark the return of a sizeable American military presence in the country for the first time since the American military gave up its sprawling naval and air bases, including one at Subic Bay, in 1992.
