US cites ‘re-energized’ relations

BY JENNIE L. ILUSTRE June 2, 2011, Malaya

WASHINGTON D.C. – The United States is "very pleased" with the re-energized relations with the Philippines as shown by discussions of top US and PHL officials on issues such as "maritime security and a range of economic initiatives."


This was revealed by Kurt M. Campbell, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, in a speech Tuesday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) here.


Campbell mentioned the Philippines first in "a country-by-country evaluation" in a speech on the US outlook in Southeast and North East Asia, highlighting the US "policy of re-engagement" in the region.


Founded in 1962, CSIS is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization based in the nation’s capital which "seeks to advance global security and prosperity by providing strategic insights and policy solutions to decision-makers."


Campbell’s speech was a preview on the high-level presence of the US in the region’s upcoming events. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in Bali, Indonesia, for the 18th Asean Regional Forum in mid-July.


Later this year, President Barack Obama will attend his first East Asia Summit, participate in the third US Asean Summit and host the annual APEC Leaders Summit in Honolulu.


Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia Jr., who was present at Campbell’s Asia overview, said the five-year, $434 million Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC) anti-poverty grant to the Philippines "is on track."


MCC implementation starts in the Philippines this month. The US has linked release of the grant on the condition of an improved human trafficking record by the Philippines.


Cuisia last week said in a press gathering the Philippines would be purchasing "eight cutters over five years" from the US. The cutters are part of the government-to-government cooperation on heightened Philippines’ coastal watch.


Cuisia formally received the Hamilton class cutter May 13 in California. He said the cutter, named after Philippine hero Gregorio del Pilar, would sail for the Philippines on July 5 and arrive there by August.

Sir P, the article states ...8 Cutters... not High endurance cutters or WHECs. PN could be planning to acquire a combination of WHECs and WMECs or Medium Endurance cutters, 210s or 270s. :salute:

After the Philippine Navy’s commissioned this June 2011. EX-USCG Hamilton Cutter, the possible additional 2 OFFSHORE PATROL VESSELS will probably the USCG RUSH and USCG JARVIS.(WHEC-725). It is said that the Philippine Navy’s will acquire 3 OFFSHORE PATROL VESSELS this 2011 and it is the USCG Weather High Endurance Cutters.

If the CG will decommission two more WHECs in 2012, hopefully they will enter Philippine Navy service to join their sister HAMILTON, which is headed our way soon, as announced by the newly-appointed Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines earlier today.

8 is a good number. But i hope they would acquire some other type of missile-frigates or corvettes aside from this hamilton class cutters.

Whooah! isn't it nice we were getting a brand new second hand! and more of it, wow were finally start modernizing dated 1960's, so by 2060 we will be getting a year 2K ship fabulous! kidding aside I would rather see this ship sail on our shore than those WW2 era floating museum who looks like more of a ghost ship from a movie. Aesthetically those ship can be upgraded and patch some of those side window to make it more of a battleship and of course with missiles if they do that then we have a navy with pride and honor! :ssalute:
