一直以来，菲律宾都是美国在亚太地区的重要盟友之一。尽管自杜特尔特出任菲律宾总统后，美菲关系出现了一定程度的貌合神离，但美国的地位始终无法取代。尤其是在2019年4月，菲律宾外长特奥多罗·洛钦曾公开表示：美国现在和将来都是菲律宾唯一的军事盟友，可见两国关系何等重要。然而这一次，一向强势且特立独行的杜特尔特却做出了一项令人吃惊的决定：终止美菲《部队访问协定》。

菲律宾总统杜特尔特
2月11日，菲律宾外长特奥多罗·洛钦表示，美国驻菲律宾大使馆已经收到菲政府关于终止《部队访问协定》的通知。同日，菲律宾总统发言人佩里托称，这样做是为了在军事事务上独立于华盛顿，“我们会加强我们自己的国防，不会依靠任何其他国家”。值得注意的是，佩里托还说，只要是基于“互利而不是片面”的原则，菲律宾愿意与其他国家签署《部队访问协定》。

美军航母曾部署在苏比克湾海军基地
不夸张地说，此事无异于一颗“重磅炸弹”，在此我们应该先了解何为《部队访问协定》。冷战结束后，美国从菲律宾全面撤军，昔日美国在东南亚最大的两个军事基地——克拉克空军基地和苏比克湾海军基地也都被交还给菲律宾。根据菲国内法律规定，美国于上世纪90年代中后期丧失了在菲永久驻军的权利。当然，美国对此并不甘心，一直在推动重新在菲驻军之事，但菲律宾国内始终未通过相关法案。因此美国只能退而求其次，与菲方签订了《部队互访协定》。

美菲两军在菲律宾本土联合训练
根据协定条款，美军在菲境内部队的性质属于“访问”，且数量、规模、军种和所携装备都必须严格报备并获得菲方许可，在“访问”一段时间后必须离开菲律宾。不难看出，这与美国在他国的永久性驻军有很大不同，受到诸多限制。但为了推行“亚太战略”，美国依然接受了这些条件。

美军亚太战略出现缺口
而今，杜特尔特的决定无异于彻底堵死了美国在菲保留军事存在的目的，相当于永久禁止美军踏入菲国境内。作为军事盟友，此举无异于公然反水，也让美国的“亚太战略”出现了一个巨大的缺口。要知道，菲律宾的战略位置颇为重要，正好位于从亚欧大陆进入太平洋的必经之路上，是美国借海上优势封锁亚欧大陆的重要支点之一。

菲律宾海盆堪称核潜艇“天堂”
尤其是位于菲律宾本土东侧的“菲律宾海盆”，平均深度超过5000米，面积高达580万平方公里。对于有着大潜深能力和高航速的核潜艇来说，此地可谓“天堂”一般，可充分发挥自身性能优势，而这正适合美国海军核潜艇部队监视和封锁一切自此地进出太平洋的水面舰船。

自杜特尔特当选菲律宾总统以来，其推行的外交与军事政策就与美国有着不小的差异，如今其终于走出了这步棋，算是与美国彻底分道扬镳了。而对于我们来说，美国“亚太战略”的崩盘却是一件好事，且自此进出太平洋将更加安全。由此可见，菲律宾决心走外交和军事自主之路的政策也算是歪打正着，给我们送上了一份大礼。

US Asia-Pacific Strategy Collapses! The Philippines permanently banned U.S. forces from entering and gave us a big gift

The Philippines has always been one of the United States' important allies in the Asia-Pacific region. Although U.S.-Philippine relations have shown a certain degree of divorce since Duterte became president of the Philippines, the status of the United States has never been replaced. Especially in April 2019, Philippine Foreign Minister Teodoro Rochin once stated publicly that the United States is and is the only military ally in the Philippines, showing how important the relationship between the two countries is. However, this time, Duterte, who has always been strong and maverick, made a surprising decision: the termination of the US-Philippines Forces Agreement.

Philippine President Duterte
On February 11, Philippine Foreign Minister Teodoro Rochin stated that the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines has received a notice from the Philippine government on the termination of the "Army Visit Agreement." On the same day, Philippine President Spokesman Perito said that this was done to be independent of Washington in military affairs. "We will strengthen our own defense and not rely on any other country." It is worth noting that Perito said that as long as it is based on the principle of "mutual benefit rather than one-sidedness," the Philippines is willing to sign the "Army Visit Agreement" with other countries.

U.S. aircraft carrier was deployed at Subic Bay Naval Base
It is no exaggeration to say that this matter is nothing more than a "blockbuster". Here we should first understand what the "Army Visit Agreement" is. After the end of the Cold War, the United States withdrew its troops from the Philippines. The former two largest military bases in Southeast Asia, Clark Air Force Base and Subic Bay Naval Base, were also returned to the Philippines. According to Philippine domestic laws, the United States lost its right to permanently station troops in the Philippines in the mid-to-late 1990s. Of course, the United States is not reconciled to this and has been pushing for the re-garrison in the Philippines, but the Philippines has never passed relevant bills. Therefore, the United States can only second best, and signed the Agreement on Mutual Visits with the Philippines.

U.S. and Philippine joint military training in Philippines
According to the terms of the agreement, the nature of U.S. forces in the Philippines is "visited", and the number, size, service, and equipment must be strictly filed and licensed by the Philippines, and they must leave the Philippines after a "visit" period. It is not difficult to see that this is very different from the US permanent garrison in other countries and is subject to many restrictions. However, in order to implement the "Asia-Pacific Strategy", the United States still accepted these conditions.

U.S. military Asia-Pacific strategy gap
Today, Duterte's decision is tantamount to completely blocking the purpose of the United States to retain its military presence in the Philippines, which is equivalent to permanently banning US troops from entering the Philippines. As a military ally, this move is tantamount to blatant backwaters, and it has also caused a huge gap in the United States' "Asia-Pacific strategy." We must know that the strategic position of the Philippines is quite important. It is located on the inevitable path from Asia and Europe to the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the important fulcrum of the United States to block off Asia and Europe by taking advantage of the sea.

The Philippine Basin is a paradise for nuclear submarines
The "Philippine Basin", located on the eastern side of the Philippines, has an average depth of more than 5,000 meters and an area of 5.8 million square kilometers. For nuclear submarines with large submergence capabilities and high speeds, this place can be described as "paradise", which can give full play to its performance advantages, and this is suitable for the US Navy's nuclear submarine force to monitor and block all surface ships entering and leaving the Pacific Ocean from here.

Since Duterte was elected president of the Philippines, his foreign and military policies have been no different from those of the United States, and now he has finally made this move, behaving as a complete separation from the United States. For us, the collapse of the US "Asia-Pacific Strategy" is a good thing, and it will be safer to enter and leave the Pacific Ocean since then. From this we can see that the Philippines' determination to take the road of diplomatic and military autonomy can also be regarded as crooked, and it has given us a great gift.
