Escalated US troop presence in Philippines will be temporary – officials
The increase in American troop numbers in the Philippines will not be permanent and is geared towards helping the Philippines’ military modernize, officials have announced. A summit in Manila on Wednesday will discuss the deployment of more US troops and equipment in the Philippines. Hundreds of US soldiers have been stationed in the south of the country since 2001 to combat Islamist terrorist groups active in the region.
