00:00 Despite the completion of multilateral maritime exercises between the Philippines and America,
00:06 other activities are still ongoing under the Balikatan 2024,
00:11 including amphibious exercises.
00:15 Patrick de Azuz will explain.
00:17 After the historic multilateral maritime exercise of America,
00:23 the Philippines and France in the West Philippine Sea,
00:26 other activities of the Balikatan Exercises 2024 are still ongoing,
00:31 including amphibious exercises this Tuesday.
00:35 The activities of the Balikatan 2024 include the navies and marines.
00:42 From this landing craft unit that was launched from there,
00:45 to BRP Davao del Sur,
00:47 we will go to the area of Posasanay, to Rizal, Palawan.
00:51 From the two LCUs that passed through the border of Barangay Kampong Olay in Rizal,
00:57 the Philippine troops performed amphibious landing
01:00 from the 3rd Naval Combat Engineering Battalion and Marine Battalion Landing Team 9.
01:05 This is an operation wherein we utilize our ship as a platform for our Philippine Marine Corps
01:12 in their shift to shore movement or shift to objective maneuvers.

01:24 One of the main activities of the amphibious raid is the obstacle breaching capability.
01:30 After this, it was formed and the security was shown to the area
01:35 where the high mobility artillery rocket system or HIMARS of America
01:41 and 105mm howitzer of the Philippines will also conduct live fire exercises on Tuesday.
01:45 In amphibious operations, beautiful ships like BRP Davao del Sur are a great help
01:52 in deploying landing craft units.
01:54 This will give us an edge especially right now that we are in a pelagic country.
01:59 If we are to maneuver from the sea, we really need this ship
02:04 to send our forces to the beach landing site.
02:08 In the middle of Posasanay, American troops were there
02:12 and they were able to show the true meaning of the return.
02:16 The buggy that the American Marines are riding is a mess.
02:20 Where will our Philippine Marines go to rescue to help?
02:25 Meanwhile, in the eastern part, the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard
02:30 are continuously monitoring the Chinese research vessels that were spotted near Catanduanes.
02:35 According to the Navy Spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Comodoroy Vincent Trinidad,
02:40 they are currently monitoring the Chinese vessel named Shenku
02:45 that was spotted to be landing unidentified equipment in the eastern part of Catanduanes
02:50 that is possibly being used for maritime research.
02:53 The use of the ship was also increased based on the aerial surveillance of the Philippine Air Force.
03:01 At the same time, the Navy also received reports of up to three Chinese ships
03:06 that were the first to show this last year.
03:09 But according to Trinidad, they did not see any activity
03:13 except for its reverse route through Samar and Catanduanes.
03:18 As of yesterday, they were just monitored there.
03:20 No any activity, no any untoward activity being conducted.
03:25 I expect them to leave after BK.
03:27 The AFP is also coordinating with other government agencies
03:31 to find out if the presence of the said Chinese ships is possible
03:36 that were on board the Balikatan Exercises 2024.
