The government will station new fighter jets and two frigates as it reopens the former US naval base in Subic Bay to military use in a further response to Chinese expansionism in the disputed South China Sea.
One of the biggest US naval facilities in the world, Subic Bay was shut in 1992 after the Senate terminated a bases agreement with Washington at the end of the Cold War.
Manila converted the facility, which was never home to the Philippine military, into an economic zone.
Defense Undersecretary Pio Lorenzo Batino said the military signed an agreement in May with the zone’s operator, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, to use parts of the installation under a renewable 15-year lease.

Only if there is a time machine that takes me back to the late 50s-early 60s era. Hopefully, with my age reversed also. It would kill me today. NO BALUTS!

Good. Sign me up. PI should have accepted statehood when we offered it back in the 50's. Things would be very different if they had.

Get behind me, Satan! I rebuke thee!!!!

Last time I stumbled the streets of Olangapo, I was a 24-yr old boy with too much money, too much testosterone, too much love of MoJo and too few morals.
Like MCPO Roger Collins said, it'd kill me today!!!!
I honestly don't think I'd survive my first Jeepney (sp?) ride to the barrio!
Hey... maybe I could just stay on the boat, take everyone's duty and make a little ka-ching while babysitting the tractor!
THAT I could probably handle!
