Manila Bay, Philippines. Aug 04,2024: The Corregidor Flag is a major symbol of history as first American flag hoisted over the PH island in 1898-1899, starting the colonial era until independence in 1946. The US Secretaries of State & Defense visited the archipelago to announce $500 million in military aid aimed at boosting PH external defense capacity, modernize the Philippine armed forces & coast guard, at a time of growing friction in South China Sea. They underscored their Mutual Defense Treaty based on historical alliance & friendship. Credit: Kevin Izorce/Alamy Live News
