Military Situation Time: Forgetting the History of Massacres, the Philippines Opens Its Doors to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces; Military Experts: Inviting the Wolf into the House

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese invading army, which occupied the Philippines, especially in the Manila area, massacred more than 100,000 Filipino civilians before being completely eliminated, including unarmed citizens and many children. To this day, the Japanese government has not taken a clear stance nor has it issued a direct and explicit apology to the Filipino people. In terms of seeking its own security, the current choice of the Philippines is actually wrong; if the Philippines were to be friendly with its neighbors and develop together, it would not face any external threats. Now, it has invited wolves into its home by bringing Japanese and American military forces into its territory, and has opened many military bases for the regular deployment of U.S. and allied combat forces, which will only complicate and intensify the regional situation. Neither the U.S. nor Japan can establish a systematic defense system in the Philippines. Once the U.S. and Japanese military forces cause trouble in the South China Sea, they may retreat immediately. What kind of outcome will the Philippines face then? I believe the Philippine government and military should seriously consider whether the involvement of Japanese and American military forces is beneficial or detrimental to them.
