The Philippines and the United States agreed on 5 bases in the country where US troops will be allowed to build facilities. These are the Antonio Bautista Air Base in Palawan (the closest to the disputed Spratlys), Basa Air Base in Pampanga, Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija, Lumbia Air Base in Cagayan de Oro, and Mactan-Benito Ebuen Air Base in Cebu. Manila and Washington earlier agreed to cooperate on maritime security at a time when Beijing is seen to be eyeing control of key trade routes in the disputed South China Sea (West Philippine Sea).
