[QUOTE="Weather Man, post: 17021505, member: 137766"] Filipino Mama-San's ! Tried so hard to get to Clark AB as a young Airman, then Aids showed up and stopped trying. [HEADING=2]U.S. Army Collaborates in Strategic Port Development in the Philippines Amid Regional Tensions[/HEADING] Story by Elizabeth Waingankar • 1h • 3 min read The U.S. Army is gearing up to play a crucial role in the construction of a new civilian seaport in Batanes, a strategically significant province in the Philippines. Governor Marilou Cayco of Batanes shared insights, noting that the Philippines, with funding from the U.S., is spearheading the development of this port. The primary objective behind this initiative is to establish a crucial entry point for Philippine nationals who might need to evacuate in the event of heightened tensions concerning Taiwan, as reported by ABS-CBN News. This development comes on the heels of reports from the previous year indicating the U.S. military’s keen interest in erecting port facilities within the Batanes archipelago. Situated a mere 130 miles from Taiwan, Batanes holds considerable strategic value. It’s a territory that China lays claim to and has expressed intentions to annex by any means necessary. Scheduled for next month, representatives from the U.S. Army are slated to arrive to engage in discussions about the port project, according to Governor Cayco. The Philippines, being a defense treaty ally of the United States, is part of the “first island chain,” a network of U.S. partners and allies strategically positioned around China. Batanes, in particular, stands out due to its proximity to the Bashi Channel, a potential chokepoint that could impede Chinese forces seeking access to the open Pacific. [/QUOTE]
