Details were unclear but earlier announcements from Balikatan executive agent Col. Michael Logico said the Philippine and US Coast Guards would also be participating in the MME scheduled from April 23 to 29. “We are not necessarily participating but we are on stand-by to provide maritime security when the participating units have activities, the ships will be there to provide perimeter activities,” Balilo said.
“They will be then going up north to Mindoro Strait then enter the West Philippine Sea. So their exercises continue like photo exercise, gunnery exercise, that will be until April 29,” Coloma said. The training, he added, would also allow Philippine troops to test their new equipment as well as practice techniques, tactics, procedures and doctrines to determine if they were still applicable.
