Philippine Lawmaker Advocates US Military Base Amid Drone Discovery

Credited from: SCMP

  • Philippine Congressman Robert Ace Barbers has urged for an additional US military site to combat foreign threats following the recovery of a submarine drone believed to be from China.
  • Barbers emphasized the importance of a naval base in protecting the rich deuterium deposits in the eastern seaboard, noting potential foreign intelligence operations.
  • The drone, identified as HY-119, was retrieved off the province of Masbate and is suspected of having been utilized for satellite communications.
  • Defense analysts support the proposal, arguing that a new military base could help monitor vital waters and enhance the Philippines' strategic position in the region.
  • However, the proposal has faced backlash, with critics warning that US military presence could undermine the country's sovereignty and escalate regional tensions.
