MANILA: The United States may seek access to more military bases in the Philippines under a joint defence agreement between the two countries, the chief of the U.S. Indo-Pacific command said on Thursday.
The Philippines has this year increased the number of bases accessible to the U.S. military from five to nine, a move that has riled regional power China, which sees the arrangement as provocative and likely to raise tensions.Admiral John Aquilino said he and the Philippines’ military chief, Romeo Brawner, had discussed further expanding the number of bases U.S. forces could access under the Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement .
