United States Ambassador to the
Philippines Kristie Kenney has assured that the American soldiers of
the Balikatan Exercises are not committing any misconduct. Kenney
said that the American troops were given strict instructions to
perform their duties such as building schools, digging wells and
providing medical assistance, among others.
The ambassador was reacting to
reports that eight to 10 prostitutes are being brought to US
soldiers nightly in Legazpi, Albay—one of the venues of the
Balikatan Exercises set to begin on April 16.
