The US and Philippines may hold bigger military drills this year, according to the Southeast Asian nation’s army chief, as tensions with China grow.
“It is claimed that this will be a bigger exercise than the past year’s Balikatan exercise, with the involvement of more troops,” Philippine Army Commanding General Romeo Brawner Jr. told reporters Wednesday, when asked about the size of this year’s bilateral armed forces exercises with the US.
