MANILA, Philippines–A United States military officer has reminded American servicemen participating in the joint Balikatan exercises in the Philippines to be on their best behavior.

A week before the Balikatan exercises, which began on Monday, the Uspacom reminded US military personnel to avoid bar-hopping and just stay around their hotels.
