On 5 November 2013, it was reported that the USA and the Philippines are in disagreement about the USA's wish for a much increased military presence in the Philippines.
In October 2013, US Secretary of State John Kerry cancelled a visit to the Philippines.
The USA wants access to Philippine military bases and wants to bring in aircraft, ships and other equipment to the Philippines.
The Philippines Defense Secretary, Voltaire Gazmin, said there is a dispute about whether the Philippines or the USA will control these bases.
Gamin said: "What will happen if we won't have access? Those bases will look like their bases."
The Philippine Senate voted in 1991 to close down major U.S. bases.
A pact ratified in 1999 allowed temporary visits such as joint exercises.
