==Foreign policy==
[[File:Diplomatic missions of the Philippines.png|thumb|300px|right|The [[Philippines]] (in red) has [[List of diplomatic missions of the Philippines|embassies in various nations]] (in blue).]]
Philippine foreign policy is based on the advancement of Filipino ideals and values, which include the advancement of democracy and advocacy for human rights worldwide.

The [[Philippines]] actively engages with regional neighbors in [[Southeast Asia]] through the [[Association of Southeast Asian Nations]] (as a founding member) with the intention of strengthening regional harmony, stability, and prosperity. It has been a supporter of [[East Timor]] since the latter's independence and has expanded trade links with its traditional allies [[Indonesia]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], and [[Thailand]]. Relations with [[Vietnam]] and [[Cambodia]] have thawed in the 1990s after their entry into the ASEAN.

The Republic of the Philippines considers itself a staunch ally of the United States and has supported many points of American foreign policy. This is evident in the Philippines' participation in the [[Iraq War]] and the [[War on Terror]]. Speaking to this support, [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[George W. Bush]] praised the Philippines as a bastion of democracy in the East and called the Philippines America's oldest ally in [[Asia]]. President Bush's speech on October 18, 2003, was only the second U.S. presidential address to the Philippine Congress; U.S. President [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] delivered the first.

With a robust relationship to the United States, the administration of former President [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]] sought to establish closer ties to its earlier colonizer, [[Spain]]. This was inspired by the attendance of [[Juan Carlos I of Spain|King Juan Carlos]] and [[Queen Sofía of Spain|Queen Sofía]] at the June 12, 1998 celebration honoring the centennial of the Philippines' independence from Spain. President Macapagal-Arroyo made two official visits to Spain during her presidency.

In recent years, the Philippines attaches great importance in its relations with China, and has established significant cooperation with the country.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Senior Chinese legislator visits Philippines to boost ties – Xinhua {{!}} English.news.cn |work=www.xinhuanet.com |url=http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-09/11/c_137460450.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180911092206/http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-09/11/c_137460450.htm |archive-date=September 11, 2018 |access-date=September 11, 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=September 5, 2018 |title=Warship incident shows Sino-Philippine relations have come a long way: China Daily |language=en |work=The Straits Times |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/warship-incident-shows-sino-philippine-relations-have-come-a-long-way-china-daily |access-date=September 11, 2018 |archive-date=September 5, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180905145546/https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/warship-incident-shows-sino-philippine-relations-have-come-a-long-way-china-daily |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2017 |title=China, ASEAN agree on framework for South China Sea code of conduct |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southchinasea-china-philippines-idUSKCN18E1FS |access-date=September 11, 2018 |archive-date=May 18, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170518123702/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southchinasea-china-philippines-idUSKCN18E1FS |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=China, Philippines confirm twice-yearly bilateral consultation mechanism on South China Sea – Xinhua {{!}} English.news.cn |work=news.xinhuanet.com |url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-05/19/c_136299206.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170519180133/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-05/19/c_136299206.htm |archive-date=May 19, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Progress made on draft of South China Sea code of conduct |work=philstar.com |url=http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2017/05/19/1701550/progress-made-draft-south-china-sea-code-conduct |access-date=September 11, 2018 |archive-date=May 19, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170519065010/http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2017/05/19/1701550/progress-made-draft-south-china-sea-code-conduct |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Subscribe {{!}} theaustralian |work=www.theaustralian.com.au |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/xi-duterte-vow-closer-philippineschina-relations-faster-spending/news-story/a1c32f162010e5b2f8bed5acc85fbde2}}</ref>

The [[Armed Forces of the Philippines]] has participated in various regional conflicts, including the [[Korean War]] and the [[Vietnam War]]. Recently, the Philippines sent peacekeeping forces to [[Iraq]], in addition to civilian doctors, nurses and police. The Filipino mission was later recalled as collateral for the release of a Filipino hostage. As part of a [[Timeline of United Nations peacekeeping missions|UN peacekeeping operation]], [[Philippine Army]] General [[Jaime de los Santos]] became the first commander of troops responsible for maintaining order in [[East Timor]].

The Philippines is in tension with rival international claimants to various land and water territories in the [[South China Sea]]. The Philippines is currently in dispute with the [[People's Republic of China]] over the Camago and [[Malampaya]] gas fields. The two countries are also in dispute over the [[Scarborough Shoal]]. Additionally, the Philippines has a [[Spratly Islands dispute|disputed claim]] over the [[Spratly Islands]].
