      "summary": "In 1999, the Philippines and the United States reached agreements to revive the security\nrelationship,\nwhich had declined following the U.S. withdrawal from military bases in 1992. The two\ngovernments concluded a Visiting Forces Agreement that will allow U.S. military personnel to enter\nthe Philippines for joint training and other cooperative activities. The two governments also agreed\nto formulate a new U.S. military support program for the Philippines. The future of the security\nrelationship will be affected by several issues such as the Philippine-China dispute in the South\nChina Sea, the Muslim insurgency in the southern Philippines, and by the degree of effectiveness\nof the Philippine's own defense buildup program. U.S. policy decisions related to these issues will\ninclude the size and scope of a military support program, the role of the South China Sea in the U.S.\nDefense commitment to the Philippines, and the scope of U.S. diplomacy concerning the\nPhilippines'\nsecurity problems. This report will be updated periodically.",
