The Peleliu and 3000 US Marines and sailors had been in the Philippines to conduct joint exercises with the Philippine armed forces.

In Manila protests occurred in front of the US Embassy there as the demands that PFC Pemberton be handed over to Philippine authorities grow louder.
And I agree. He committed the crime on Philippine soil, so he needs to face justice in the Philippines for it We'll have to stay tuned to see if he does.
