00:00The modernization of the military and its capabilities

00:04has made other countries happy.

00:07In fact, the Philippines, the US, and Canada

00:10are getting used to the West Philippine Sea again.

00:15This is Patrick Jesus at the center of the news.

00:19Interoperability was also shown

00:23in the 7th Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity

00:26between the Philippines, America, and Canada.

00:29It was carried out in the North Luzon Command Joint Operational Area

00:33in the West Philippine Sea.

00:35AFPM-BRP Andres Bonifacio and C-90 aircraft

00:40deployed the HMCS Otawa in Canada

00:43where the US participated in the pre-sale and monitoring of the activity.

00:48Different exercises were carried out in the MMCA

00:51including the Anti-Submarine Training Target Exercise.

00:55A phone call was made between AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner, Jr.

01:01and US Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown, Jr.

01:05to discuss the existence of additional joint exercises.

01:09EDCA sites were also discussed

01:11as well as programs for the modernization of the military.

01:14This is also included in the plan of AFP

01:18to buy non-submarine submarines.

01:22Hopefully, it's a dream for us to get at least two submarines.

01:29We are an archipelago and so we have to have this type of capability

01:35because it's really difficult to defend the entire archipelago without submarines.

01:41Last year, the fund for the AFP modernization program increased by 29%

01:48where the government allocated P35 billion in 2025.

01:53General Browner admitted that this is not enough

01:57especially since there are also multi-year contracts

02:00for the first purchased equipment.

02:02But he is working on a way to have additional funds

02:06with the help of local and foreign financing.

02:10In fact, we have had some offers already.

02:15We are studying the legality of this.

02:18But for all the help that can be given to AFP,

02:24Philippine Coast Guard and other government agencies

02:28that are involved in securing our territory and our sovereign rights,

02:34these are all welcome to us.

02:36This year, two new corvettes are expected to be delivered from South Korea

02:41including the BRP Miguel Malbar that will arrive in March.

02:45There are also new landing dock ships and six offshore patrol vessels.

02:50Meanwhile, the Chinese Research Vessel Lanhai 101

02:55was last seen in the Sabtang Islands in Batanes.

02:57It was first detected in the country's archipelagic waters.

03:01Although the Research Vessel said that it was passing

03:06due to the poor condition of the sea in the northern part of Palawan,

03:10the PCG noticed doubts in its release,

03:14where it was killed by the Automatic Identification System or AIS.

03:20It keeps on entering our contiguous zone.

03:25It maintains 23, 24, 25 nautical miles off the coast of our coastline.

03:34Although BRP Cabla keeps on pushing her further away from our contiguous zone,

03:42and yet, it still insists on entering.

03:45In Baode, Masinlok, four Chinese Coast Guard vessels are still remaining.

03:49The latest to arrive here is the CCG 5303,

03:53while the Demonstration Ship is still there.

03:55Despite this, the PCG assured that the country has sufficient capabilities

04:00to monitor if there is a claim in the Scarborough Shoal,

04:04which is one of the government's alleged redlines.
