Pilipinas, Japan pinag-igting ang Maritime Watch sa West PH Sea

Philippines Jef Maitem - : Dec 1, 2025 - : 10:16 am

Nagpatrolya at nagsagawa ng ikatlong bilateral maritime cooperative activity (MCA) ang mga yunit ng hukbong dagat at himpapawid ng Pilipinas at Japan sa West Philippine Sea (WPS) noong Nobyembre 29.

Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) na ang pinakabagong MCA ay nagpapakita ng “patuloy na paglakas ng defense cooperation” sa pagitan ng dalawang bansa.

Para sa ikatlong pagkakataon, nag-deploy ang AFP ng guided-missile frigate na BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151), isang AW-159 “Wildcat” anti-submarine helicopter, at isang C-208B surveillance aircraft ng Philippine Air Force.

Pinangunahan naman ng Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force ang partisipasyon ng Japan gamit ang guided-missile destroyer JS Harusame (DD-102) at isang SH-60K helicopter.

Unang isinagawa ang bilateral MCA noong Agosto 2024, habang ang ikalawa ay noong Hunyo.

“Isinagawa ng magkabilang panig ang serye ng interoperability activities, kabilang ang division tactics/officer-of-the-watch maneuver kung saan nagsanay ang mga barko sa coordinated movements at station-keeping, at ang PHOTOEX (photographic exercise) na nangangailangan ng eksaktong formation para sa dokumentasyon,” ayon sa AFP.

Samantala, nagsagawa rin ng cross-deck landing exercise upang pamilyarhin ang helicopter crew at ship personnel sa kani-kanilang deck procedures at mapahusay ang koordinasyon sa aviation operations.

Binigyang-diin ng AFP na ang MCA kasama ang Japan ay natapos isang araw matapos ang matagumpay na Philippine–France MCA noong Nobyembre 28 sa katimugang bahagi ng Eastern Mindanao.
