00:10 It is called the "Allon Exercise" which is expected to strengthen the defense of the two countries.
00:16 The news center is live from Bea Bernardo.
00:24 Angelic, for the first time ever, the Philippines and Australia conducted a large military exercise called the "Allon Exercise".
00:32 This was personally witnessed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:37 In continuing the training of the Armed Forces of the Philippines with our fellow countries, Australia is their partner now.
00:47 The scenario of this activity is that the Philippines and Australia will help each other to recover an island that was taken by another country.
00:56 The amphibious landing exercise is one of its highlights where the ships will be launched from the ship to the ground.
01:04 Different sea, land and air assets from the Philippines and Australia were used in the training.
01:10 His Majesty's Australian Ship Canberra is one of them, the largest ship of Australia.
01:17 The United States provided logistic support and used their Osprey aircraft.
01:22 President Marcos Jr. approved the training of the two countries and he wanted to have more military exercises in the Philippines and Australia.
01:34 You know, if the coordination is good, especially in the military, there is a multiplier effect.
01:44 That's why it is important that we continue that.
01:47 That's certainly going to be part of the discussion that I will be having with the Prime Minister when he comes,
01:53 Prime Minister Alvanese, when he comes to visit us here in the Philippines.
02:00 The Philippines and Australia will have a lot of discussions, including security and defense,
02:05 when Australian Prime Minister Anthony Alvanese visits the country next month.
02:10 Especially, the Philippines and Australia have shared interests.
02:14 Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Gilberto Chodoro Jr. said that the other countries do not need the help of the resupply mission.
02:22 This is after there were suggestions that the Philippines and its allies join the resupply mission to avoid China's aggression.
02:32 But the Defense Chief insisted that the resupply mission is a Philippine matter, so we can resolve it.
02:38 Chodoro clarified that the resupply or the presence of the US plane during the resupply mission this Tuesday is not coordinated in the Philippines.
02:46 Meanwhile, Australia said that the military exercise with the Philippines shows that the compliance of the rules-based order and international law is very important for the two countries.
