Inter-agency exercise ‘Alalayan’ kicks off in Manila; 'not a show of force' amid tension in WPS

  • 10 months ago
Eleven government agencies banded together as they kicked off Exercise “Alalayan” 2023 at Manila Bay in Manila on Friday, August 11, to test different protocols and demonstrate the capability of the National Coast Watch Center (NCWC) and its support agencies to detect, identify, and interdict maritime threats within the Philippine territory.

Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Vice Adm. Roy Echeverria, NCWC director, clarified that the exercise was not a show of force amid the dangerous maneuvers and water cannon attack conducted by Chinese vessels against PCG ships and supply boats from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) last week.
