Protests erupted in Quezon City, demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops as the US military kicked off joint war games with the Philippine Armed Forces. The annual “Balikatan” exercises will include a “full battle test” with over 14,000 Filipino and American soldiers.
The war games come amid rising tensions between China and the US, starting in the South China Sea, where coast guard confrontations between China and the Philippines have increased over the past two years.
BAYAN, a leading organizer of the protests, criticized the Balikatan drills as a move “to advance US geopolitical interests.” During a recent visit to Manila, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that Washington would “double down” on its alliance with Manila in response to “threats from the Communist Chinese.”
