"In the drive to increase its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region, the US government and military are more and more making use of the Philippines as one of its military strongholds which serve as a base and platform of operations for its naval and air forces," pointed out the CPP. "The plan to set up military facilities to house its drones has been one of the key items in the US agenda in the Philippines."
"Sa kampanyang palakasin ang presensyang militar sa Asia-Pacific, lagi't laging ginagamit ng gubyerno at militar ng US ang Pilipinas bilang isa mga balwarteng militar nito na nagsisilbing base at lunsaran ng operasyon ng mga pwersang pandagat at panghimpapawid nito," pagdidiin ng PKP. "Ang planong pagtatayo ng pasilidad militar upang gawing garahe ng mga drones nito ay isa sa mga susing usapin sa adyenda ng US sa Pilipinas."
