Honestly, I think the Philippine government is on the right track here

It's crucial for any nation to uphold its sovereignty and not let foreign powers dictate terms, especially when it comes to military presence on its soil. This decision by President Marcos Jr. really showcases a strong stance on protecting their national interests and autonomy, which is admirable. Plus, it's a good reminder that countries need to carefully consider their partnerships and ensure they're not compromising their own security and independence for the sake of foreign alliances.
