U.S. troops outnumbered Filipino troops in Philippine joint exercises
Evidence
By 2003, the U.S. military was participating in eighteen such exercises a year; U.S. troops outnumbered Filipino troops in the largest exercise. Soon, there were more than thirty exercises per year. By 2006 there were 5,500 U.S. troops involved, almost twice as many as in the 2,800-person Filipino contingent. By 2008, the 6,000 Americans were three times the number of Filipinos. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 984
