"By using the Philippines as one of its key military stations and puppets in the Asia-Pacific, the US is putting the Philippines in the crosshairs of its enemies," said the CPP. "By acting subserviently to the US, the Aquino regime allows the US to use the Philippines as a pawn in its geo-political strategy and wars of aggression."
"Ang tunaguriang magkasamang ehersisyong militar ay walang iba kundi mga paghahanda at pagpapakana ng US upang ilagay ang militar ng Pilipinas sa ilalim ng kumand nito at magamit ang Pilipinas bilang himpilan nito sa posibleng paglulunsad ng gerang agresyon saan man sa Asia-Pacific," anang PKP.
