00:00 It is also being prepared to create a stir between Taiwan and China

00:05 when they choose a location in the north as the location of Balikatan 2024.

00:10 That is what an official of the AFP admitted and that is what June Veneration is talking about.

00:15 In the far north of the Philippines, near Taiwan,

00:22 one of the chosen training areas of Balikatan Exercises 2024.

00:27 Here, the tension is high because of the growing stir of Taiwan and China.

00:32 An official of the AFP admitted that the joint military training of the Philippines and America

00:38 is being prepared to create a stir in that area.

00:56 In the ocean of the Ilocos Norte,

00:59 a sinking exercise will be held where a decommissioned ship will be sunk and will be the target.

01:05 In Balikatan 2024, SM-6, the missile system of the US military,

01:12 will be deployed first. It has a range of 300 nautical miles.

01:16 It is now in the Ilocos Norte.

01:18 It will not fire. So it is, again, I said it's a logistics exercise.

01:24 We will be firing other weapon systems but not that one.

01:27 The military exercise will also be held in the West Philippine Sea.

01:30 With or without China, let's say for example in a parallel universe,

01:34 China did not exist, we would still be doing these exercises.

01:38 Balikatan 2024 will be held on Monday, April 22.

01:42 11,000 US troopers and more than 5,000 AFP soldiers will be involved in the first exercise.

01:49 Colonel Franzel Margareth Padilla, spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said

01:55 that it is a good opportunity to join the maritime exercises of France and Australia.

02:01 With these exercises, how can we interoperate and integrate our systems with other like-minded nations

02:08 in the event of any eventualities, not just for the defense side of things,

02:13 but also in terms of HADR, so humanitarian assistance as the case may be.
