    USA to have new military bases in Philippines
    Credits:
  • Amid rising tensions with China in the South China Sea, USA signed a deal with the Philippines allowing for a rotating US military force to be present in five Philippine bases.

    Amy Searight, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence, said that the deal was signed under a 2014 Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement that allows USA to increase its military presence in the Philippines.

  • In 2012, China unilaterally expelled Philippine fishermen from Scarborough Shoal claiming that it was part of China's sovereign territory.

    Although China has had territorial claims in the South China Sea in the past, Philippines said that the takeover of Scarborough Shoal was "the last straw".

    Consequently, the Philippines initiated arbitration in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2013, thus escalating tensions.

    Credits:
  • Nearly 2 years after the Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) was signed, the Philippine Supreme Court finally upheld the defense agreement with the United States as constitutional.

    Although the agreement did not receive unanimous support in the Philippine Supreme Court, the court voted 10-4 to uphold the constitutionality of the agreement.

    The Supreme Court's decision became a significant development for the US-Philippine alliance.
