While contentious politics and domestic article limitations present a potential constraint on the upward trajectory of the alliance rela- tionship, there are indications that this expanded engagement can continue beyond the Aquino administration. The paper examines the condition of Philippine forces under President Aquino, the International Peace and Security Plan to pursue a credible external defense capability, the process of security sector reform, and matters pursuing a strong Philippine-US alliance. Keywords: Philippine-US alliance, Peace and security, Security sector reform, Maritime domain awareness, Capability development, Modernization Background The Philippines and the United States maintain close ties that are grounded in a Mutual Defense Treaty signed in 1951. Security cooperation has been a hallmark despite evolv- ing dynamics in the bilateral relationship, including a US colonial legacy that continues to cast a long shadow for many Filipinos. Nearly a century of US military presence in the Philippines, which resulted from the Spanish-American War, ended when the Philippine Senate voted 12–11 in September 1991 to reject a treaty that would have kept Subic Bay Naval Station in place (Shenon 1992).

    , ,,.~,, of^?!. ;~ .,E \r., hi.', :- IAFW FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC ) OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 First Regular Session ) 8 FER 26 i3 4 ':j S.B.No. 2093 Introduced by: Senator Juan Ponce Enrile EXPLANATORY NOTE Republic Act No 7898 was enacted in 1995 with the grand purpose of modernizing our Armed Forces. Sadly, the envisioned modernization never really gained ground due to several concerns such as lack of funding, circuitous procurement system, devaluation of the Philippine Peso vis-a-vis the American Dollar, the 1997 Asian economic slump, among other factors. In order to address some of the concerns which were experienced in the implementation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Act, the proposed Bill advances the following amendments thereto, to wit: 1) fixing the annual appropriation for the AFP Modernization Act in an amount not less than three-tenths of one per centum (0.3%) of the last officially-reported gross national product: 2) as part of the Self-Reliant Defense Posture (SRDP) Program, establishing a continuous research and development program designed to utilize new technology and upgrade existing AFP inventory of equipment and weapon systems; 3) expanding the sources of funding for the AFP Modernization Act Trust Fund to include the proceeds from the lease and/or joint venture agreements and such other dispositions pertaining to former military camps; 4) adopting a simplified Defense Acquisition System which shall be separate and distinct from the procurement system applicable to other departments

Valentino Sitoy, Jr. United Church of Christ in the Philippines FOREWORD To capture in print a history of a people in their faith journey is itself a miracle! Indeed, it is the work of the Holy Spirit manifesting itself in the ingenuity and intellect of church scholars, such as this particular author. To be able to delve into the peculiarities of each of the uniting churches - each with its own particular historical journey - and weave them into one fabric of a United Church of Christ in the Philippines is indeed a work of genius. Leaping out of the pages are familiar names of persons, places and events as the stories of each of the denominational springs flow into the one stream of a church body, losing themselves into the one body. And as the names are read again and again, by individuals and groups of this volume, they will come to life and bring back memories of the many pioneers of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, without whom we will not be what we are today, nor hope to be what we ought to be, in the future.
