00:18Here is the report.
00:21The Armed Forces of the Philippines responded to China's resumption of the Typhoon Missile System in the Philippines.
00:31The AFP responded to China's resumption of the Typhoon Missile System.
00:38They also said that they will not allow things that are dangerous to their security.
00:43China was the first to challenge the West Philippine Sea to stop the harassment
00:49on the condition that the Typhoon Missile System will be returned.
00:52The Typhoon Missile System has been used in the Philippines since April last year.
00:56The AFP said that the practice of using the Typhoon Missile System will continue.
01:00This is one of the plans to be implemented.
01:03The presence of the Typhoon Missile System is for us to rehearse how to use it, how to deploy it.
01:12We are looking at the logistical trains, the probability of transfers from one location to the other.
01:19As long as we are using it for these training purposes and the commitment to use this for our exercises, it is there.
01:29Meanwhile, interoperability was shown in the 7th Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity between the Philippines, America and Canada this Wednesday.
01:41It was conducted in the Northern Luzon-Coman Joint Operational Area in the West Philippine Sea.
01:47The AFP deployed the BRP Andres Bonifacio and C-90 aircraft while the HMCS Otawa sailed to Canada
01:55where the US participated in the pre-sale and monitoring of the activity.
02:00Various exercises were conducted in the MMCA, including the Anti-Submarine Training Target Exercise.
02:07Although the three ships of the PLA Navy of China were monitored,
02:11one Oceanographic Surveillance Ship and one Military Helicopter,
02:15these did not affect the exercises.
02:18The AFP wanted more countries to participate in the Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity.
02:25We are looking forward to having more of this with other countries, such as Italy, United Kingdom and France.
02:34Before, we did not have joint sales with these countries,
02:37but gradually, other countries, such as those from Europe, are becoming interested in our country.
02:45The Philippines also invited South Korea to join the so-called Squad,
02:51an alliance that was formed to advance the free Indo-Pacific
02:56and is now being counted in the Philippines, America, Australia and Japan.
