the ongoing territorial disputes, US Ambassador Philip Goldberg disclosed that the United States will be providing $79 million military fund to the Philippines this year which was higher compared to

which sought to resolve the issue on the contested waters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe kind of solutions that we believe are the best way forward is to settle dispute within the legal context, to talk to each other about how to go about arranging codes of conduct, so there won\u2019t be mistakes or incidents on the sea and in the air,\u201d the American Ambassador said.<\/p>\n<p>With reports that China has been building military facilities in its reclaimed reefs, the Philippines and the United States, together with other concerned parties, expressed concern over the waters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt each step
