	Rebuilding the U.S.-Philippine Alliance
		The Philippines sits astride sea lanes critical to U.S. and Asian commerce and economic growth, and is positioned midway between potential crisis zones in Northeast Asia and the Persian Gulf.
		When the Philippines depended on the United States to excessive degrees, in terms of economic and military aid and in terms of providing external defense, an unintended result was the creation of resentment.
