Filipino farmers protest presence of 600 U.S. troops in the Philippines. The soldiers are backing a Philippine army offensive in the south. The government in Manila is also discussing opening up Subic Bay--site of former U.S. naval base, closed in 1992 in the face of massive protests--and other facilities to U.S. forces.
