US Military Revives Naval Base in Subic Bay to Defend the Philippines from Chinese Invasion

Subic Bay, discovered in 1572 by Spanish explorer Juan de Salcedo, has been a geopolitical linchpin in the Asia-Pacific for centuries. From its transformation into a strategic naval base during Spanish rule, its acquisition by the U.S. post the Spanish-American War, and its dominance during World Wars, the bay has navigated global power dynamics. Faced with environmental challenges like the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption and geopolitical shifts, such as the U.S. Navy's exit and China's rise in the South China Sea, Subic Bay has continually reinvented itself. Now, with the Visiting Forces Agreement, Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, and investments from entities like Cerberus Capital Management, it remains crucial in the ongoing great power competition. This video delves into Subic Bay's storied past, its strategic importance, and its potential role in future global geopolitics including the US Military Revival of Naval Base to counter China dominance.
