I can tell you this would be an extremely unpopular idea here. It was only relatively recently that America moved their military out and handed the bases over to Filipino forces, at the request of the Philippines. And with the U.S. no longer issuing work visas to Filipinos and recently denying visas to government officials they say are complicit in crimes against humanity, the U.S. isn't exactly very popular here right now.
I LOL'd -- have a merit. For some reason that meme template never gets old.
