00:00The Philippine Navy's unilateral gunnery drill earlier today, using live rounds performed

00:05according or even above expectations, given targets still being hit in the live fire exercises

00:10despite the rough seas, constant maneuvers and uninterrupted communications, prove the

00:14Philippine Navy is more than able to and prepped to engage in surface warfare operations under

00:20the harshest conditions, as our Patrick D'Souza reports.

00:28The Philippine Navy successfully conducted a unilateral and gunnery exercise on Monday

00:34in the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc, participating in the exercise were the Guided Missile Frigate

00:41BRP Ocerizal, Offshore Patrol Vessel BRP Ramon Alcaraz, and Landing Dock Ship BRP Tarlac.

00:49The drills, carried out amid rough seas, included live fire drills, maneuvering, and communication

00:56exercises.

00:57The Navy is prepared to conduct surface warfare operations under any conditions and I am very

01:05glad to report that both PS-16 and FF-150, despite the very harsh conditions yesterday,

01:12were able to hit the target.

01:18No Chinese vessels were monitored in the vicinity.

01:21This does not send any particular message to anybody.

01:24We are focused on ensuring the operational readiness of all our assets and our ability

01:30to conduct unilateral and unilateral joint and combined exercises with everybody.

01:36Meanwhile, in February, a total of 19 vessels from the PLA Navy and China Coast Guard were

01:43monitored in Bajo de Masinloc and Ayungin Shoal.

01:47The Philippines continues to conduct regular maritime patrols and aerial surveillance flights

01:53in the West Philippine Sea.

01:55The Philippine Navy has a regular patrol plan and we keep challenging them each time we

02:00monitor a warship, not only in Ayungin Shoal, but even all over the West Philippine Sea.

02:05The Navy reiterated the presence of Chinese vessels within the Philippines' Exclusive

02:10Economic Zone is illegal.

02:13From the People's Television Network, Patrick de Azuz, Balita, Pambansa.
