MANILA, Philippines — Armed Forces of the Philippines chief Gen. Andres Centino is open for much bigger bilateral war games between the United States and the Philippines next year. Centino, when asked if next year's Balikatan will see a similar or more number of troops, told reporters in a chance interview in Camp Aguinaldo: 'Kung nakita natin there is a need, talagang dagdagan natin.' (If we see that there is a need, we will add more.) 'Of course, it would be better na magkaroon tayo ng chance to train with other armies also, mga friends and allies natin,' he added.
