Phl, US Hold Joint Maritime Exercises
The Philippine Star
|January 20, 2025
The Philippines and the United States carried out joint maritime exercises for the fifth time in the South China Sea, Manila's armed forces said yesterday, in a move that would likely irk China.
The Philippine military said in a statement it held a "maritime cooperative activity" with the US on Friday and Saturday, its first for the year and fifth overall since launching the joint activities in 2023.
Security engagements between the two allies have soared under President Marcos, who has pivoted closer to Washington, allowing the expansion of military bases that American forces can access, including facilities that face Taiwan.
The joint maritime activity included the United States' Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group, two guided missile destroyers, two helicopters and two F-18 Hornet aircraft.
The Philippine side deployed its Antonio Luna frigate, Andres Bonifacio patrol ship, two FA-50 fighter jets, as well as search and rescue assets of the air force.
