Philippines Allowed the Americans to use 5 of its Military Bases under EDCA

The Philippines agreed to allow the American Military to use 5 of its military bases where the Americans could store their military equipment. US Deputy Assistant Secretary of  Defense Amy Searight said the agreement was reached under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA).

 The military bases that are allowed by the Philippine Government are Antonio Bautista Air Base, Fort Magsaysay, Mactan-Benito Ebuen Air Base, Bara Air Base and Lumbia Airport.  EDCA granted Washington increased military presence in the Philippines by allowing Troops, Ships and Fighter Planes to be stationed temporarily in Philippine Military Bases. Supreme Court confirmed its legality last January.
