The said cancelation of the port
calls of United States ships in Subic were immediately noted as due to the “changing
operational requirements” and not related to the recent case of Laude a

DFA (Department of Foreign
Affairs) was then informed through diplomatic channels on the said cancelation
of the three US ships for some operational reasons, this was confirmed by Charles
Jose the DFA Assistant Secretary Spokesman in press briefing.

usual purpose of the said port calls is for operational reasons and repair and
we can say that it is not related to any military exercises.”

saying that a total nine US ships cancelled its port calls that made them disappointed
because of revenues they could have earned.
The said Negative sentiments
against US poured out following the murder of the Filipino transgender “Jennifer”
Laude allegedly by the US Marine Pfc Scott Pemberton in a small motel in
