ABSTRACT:
An 11 page paper assessing what effect that a change in US policy in East Asia would have on the Philippines. The United States recently completed a six-month training exercise in the Philippines, one that did not please China. This paper discusses the reasons that the US sent more than 1000 troops to the Philippines in January 2002; the impetus behind military aid to the Philippines; economic conditions in the region; relations between the US and China; and how all that likely would change should the US alter policies. The paper concludes that there would be minimal effect in the Philippines. The people only tolerated US presence, and the Filipino constitution prohibits the permanent presence of a foreign entity. The Philippines was unable to take part in the great economic growth in the region in the 1990s for political reasons, and economic interests lie elsewhere. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
