The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today assailed
the US government for
seeking to establish another Subic Naval Base in the Philippines, a little smaller
perhaps, to service ships and troops being "rotated" in the
Asia-Pacific region.
"US plans to setup a mini-Subic military base, service
facility or exclusive dock in the Philippines have become increasingly apparent
as officials of the Obama government announced it is going to rotate at least
3,300 troops from its Okinawa base in Australia, Singapore, Hawaii and the
Philippines.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the Obama government is working to forge an
agreement with the Aquino regime similar with that forged with Australia allowing the US military to
regularly dock American warships and maintain "rotational" presence.
