has even towers inside military facilities in the philippines multiple times, the philippine main, a part i just shut down this year. so devolved bit these tremendous. that's what, let's hope mark was really prepared for. auto weiss is playing with fire. you know, present, michael junior was in beijing of the start of the he was meeting president though she, after the latest meeting with belt and biden, where are philippines? china ties, right. just the other week, the chinese foreign minister visited the philippines to do the kind of troubleshooting. but it seemed that meeting didn't really go that far after the end of the meeting, all the 2 sides with agreed to was just more communication, china, which is what we had an abundance of abundance of under former president. that was extremely close to china. so it looks like the bilateral relationship is in total crisis right now. but still, china has an option. marcus will try to reach out to try and i don't know what he's been offering them. but more importantly, the question is, what he's trying to offer. the philippines because they

access to several additional philippines spaces in arrangement that strengthens the philippines, defense capabilities and grants. the u. s. a stronger foot holt, to counter what it sees as the biggest potential threat in the south china sea region. a possible invasion of tie one by china. joining me now for more context on this is author columnist and political scientists. richard ha. darian returned an iron clad commitment from the us to defend the philippines, including in the south china sea. does this make the philippines safer or increased chances of a real confrontation with bridging? well as far as the statement, iron clad is concerned, this is kind of a shade, medically shade that the united states use this. we not only treat the, like the philippines, but we hear also doctor, when the united states dos about its relationship with gulf countries, persian gulf countries in the middle east, for instance. so i think that war, it doesn't care as much water, except when the, by the administration player buys the parameters. so it's michelle defense. tricky with the other beans. and th

is it possible l to say, you know, which side the philippines would choose in the philippines would choosenited states and china over something like taiwan, for instance? right. taiwan is closer to the philippines geographically than practically all of their south asian countries. it'sjust practically all of their south asian countries. it's just over 100 nautical miles. it'sjust a two hourflight from major cities to the north of the philippines. as far as where marcosjr has come from culturally. so it is too geographically) to set it out. and at the same time, we are us treaty ally and getting access to american troops as far as some sites close to taiwan are concerned. so definitely the philippines will be on the american side, but this is precisely why president marcos jr wants to make it look as if his relationship of the united states is notjust about the military bases, it is much more comprehensive. because he wants to have a comprehensive relationship with all superpowers, and i wouldn't be surprised in the coming months and weeks he will try to say things to appease china. but he

how is the philippines navigating this?ilippines is concerned, i think it's exposure to the chinese... singapore, thailand, malaysia, especially as in countries which are geographically very close to china, including vietnam, which has very tricky geopolitical relationship it really relies on china big time for imports and trade. in the philippines we have a much more diversified portfolio things to japan and the united states. if they are in the mix talking about the big ticket infrastructure investments, if we are talking a larger trade volume standard. i think that's why what i think marcus wants to do is further expand economic relationship with the united states under the specific economic framework. in order to make sure that should china retaliate against the philippines, should chinese aim for some kind of de facto embargo to make its displeasure with the new system with americans across the philippines, then he would have an option. so he is looking for an economic conclusion. but i'm not really optimistic about wh

speaker, on june 12, 2023, the philippines will be celebrating the very day in 1898 when the philippines declared its independence from spain. they would enhance and commemorate 125 years of independence. while it still took nearly a half decade for the treaty of manila to be signed to secure its full independence from the united states, it is still recognized as an historic transition to allow the country to preserve the very culture, language, and traditions as we appreciate today. . this proud relation shm has been prosperous over the decades. a good percentage of our population have relocated to the philippines or roots there. because of the spanish influence there are so many similarities, food, tradition, and language. many of the surnames are also similar. our island has developed greater ties with the philippines which includes medical tourism for islanders to seek medical care in one of the many world class facilities in the philippines. our h-2-b labor solely arrives from the philippines and has done remarkable for our economy. flights to and from manila are almost always full
