MANILA (DPA): Britain's Prince Andrew arrived in the Philippines yesterday for a two-day visit, during which the Prince was to meet with President Fidel Ramos and top military officials.

The Prince, who is also the Duke of York and a lieutenant commander in the British Royal Navy, was expected to discuss military relations between the two countries in his meetings with Ramos and senior armed forces officers.

Another aim of the visit is to highlight the growing economic ties between the two countries. Britain has become one of the Philippines' top European investors and trading partners in the last two years.
