"The appointment of Goldberg, who has served as an intelligence officer of the US government, as ambassador to the Philippines also signals US plans to heighten its intervention in the Philippines," pointed out the CPP. "Over the past three years under the Aquino regime, the US government has been provided with increasing military access to docking and landing facilities for its warships and aircraft and is set to have exclusive access to parts of Subic and other major sea and airports."
"Ang pagkahirang kay Goldberg, na nagsilbi bilang upisyal sa paniktik ng gubyernong US, bilang ambassador sa Pilipinas ay naghuhudyat din ng mga plano ng US na paigtingin ang interbensyon nito sa Pilipinas," pagdidiin ng PKP. "Sa nakaraang tatlong taon ng rehimeng Aquino, pinagkalooban na ang gubyernong US ng papalaking militar na akses sa mga pasilidad para sa pagpapadaong at pagpapalanding ng mga barko at eroplanong pandigma nito at nakatakda pang magkaroon ng eksklusibong akses sa mga bahagi ng Subic at iba pang mayor na mga daungan at paliparan."
