00:00 The Philippines and the United States will jointly help our countrymen who are in the midst of the Eguice earthquake in Cagayan.

00:18 where the earthquake was first experienced.
00:21 The joint relief operation started at Lalo Airport in the province of Cagayan, one of the four new EDCA sites in the Philippines.
00:33 This was personally witnessed by Defense Secretary Gilberto "Gibo" Chonoro Jr. and Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner.
00:46 Secretary Chonoro said that the construction of facilities at EDCA sites should be done quickly after the operational limitation of the area is seen.
00:56 The Secretary-General also explained that the air assets and relief items in the area cannot be prepositioned because there is no facility to protect them.
01:10 We need to speed up the construction of this Philippine base with EDCA facilities so that we can preposition the equipment,
01:23 air assets, not only of the Philippine Air Force but also of the United States.
01:29 We need to build more facilities to increase our operational tempo.
01:35 It's a great thing. We always want to be here with our friends, partners and allies.
