MANILA, April 3 — The Philippines announced today the location of four additional military bases to be used by US troops, with one site near the hotly disputed South China Sea and another not far from Taiwan.
It was expanded to nine, but the locations of the four additional bases were withheld until today while the government consulted with local officials. Three of the sites are in the northern Philippines, including a naval base and airport in Cagayan province and an army camp in the neighbouring province of Isabela, the Philippine statement said.Another site will be an air base on Balabac Island, off the southern tip of Palawan Island, near the South China Sea.
The agreement allows US troops to rotate through the bases and also store defence equipment and supplies at them.The pact stalled under former president Rodrigo Duterte, who favoured China over the Philippines’ former colonial master.
