Richard Morales, the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and their Defense Minister was actually here
00:05.5
just the other week
00:07.5
and he said that this year's Balikatang will be special, bequeered
00:11.8
and in a more consequential manner
00:13.8
Sorry lang, ang dami kong kasi kina-coordinate
00:15.8
Kailangan kong mag-pass-aloud dito
00:17.8
Kailangan kong mag-ayos dito sa Youtube natin
00:19.8
Kailangan kong...
00:20.8
Pasensya na, nag-mumultitask ako
00:22.8
but I'm going to go into this
00:24.8
So, pag-usapan natin ng konti ang mga kamay ta
00:26.8
kasi mahalaga yan, where we're entering some new water
00:28.8
some important, literally
00:30.8
we're entering new water
00:32.8
siguro at least the kind of exercises we're gonna have
00:34.8
So, there are two things that are gonna be
00:38.8
One is the size, we're gonna go from 7,000-8,000 troops
00:40.8
to around 17,000 troops
00:42.8
so that's more than double
00:44.8
The second thing, mga kamay ta, here is
00:46.8
the type of exercises
00:48.8
So, we're looking at island defense
00:50.8
or actually, archipelagic
00:52.8
defense exercises
00:54.8
So, ayon sa itong news sa Philippine Daily Inquirer
00:56.8
kung saan, of course, columnist tayo
00:58.8
The armies of the Philippines and United States
01:00.8
on Monday kicked off their biggest
01:02.8
joint drills to date
01:04.8
earlier this weekend
01:06.8
which will include, quote, new tactics
01:08.8
using lessons learned from Russia's invasion of Ukraine
01:10.8
as they prepare, quote, to face
01:12.8
adversaries from out of the country
01:16.8
So, clearly, we're learning our lessons from what's happening
01:18.8
in Ukraine and Russia and we're trying to apply that
01:20.8
in the case of the Philippines
01:22.8
just in case, God forbid
01:24.8
there's gonna be a showdown dyan sa West Philippine Sea
01:26.8
or over Taiwan. Pag-usapan natin dyan
01:28.8
So, about 3,000 soldiers
01:30.8
from the Philippine Army and U.S. Army
01:32.8
Pacific were taking part
01:36.8
By the way, ito yung Salaknip
01:38.8
or Shield in Ilocano
01:40.8
Salaknib? Nib? Okay, I don't know
01:42.8
I hope I got the Ilocano
01:44.8
So, actually, this is a different exercise
01:46.8
Salaknip exercise, Shield in Ilocano exercise
01:48.8
which was held first in 2014
01:50.8
but, of course, it's becoming more regular and more important
01:54.8
Bronner Jr. One thing that we're
01:56.8
learning from the Ukraine-Russia crisis or war
01:58.8
is that you do not need a really very strong
02:00.8
army to defend yourself
02:02.8
Speaking of Ukraine, beating down
02:04.8
and humiliating Russia, even with a few
02:06.8
modern weapons, the more important thing is the
02:10.8
So, ayon sa kanya
02:12.8
the training scenarios would involve defense of
02:14.8
the Philippine archipelago from potential foreign
02:16.8
aggressors will focus on defense operations
02:18.8
such as air defense and defense from the shoreline
02:20.8
So, this is an exercise that already
02:22.8
happened this week
02:24.8
So, eto, eto, eto, mga kamente
02:26.8
Ipo-post natin yan
02:28.8
Sorry for the slight seeming confusion here
02:40.8
Eto, eto, eto, eto
02:42.8
So, this is huge, guys. So, island defense yung ginawa natin
02:44.8
dito and then yung mangyaring
02:46.8
balikatan next month, sa April
02:48.8
naman is talagang magkakaroon
02:50.8
ng training to sink a boat
02:52.8
Eto, eto, punta natin
02:56.8
So, this is in March, yung pinag-usapan natin ngayon
02:58.8
and then there'll be another major first
03:00.8
So, Filipino and American
03:02.8
troops will sink a target vessel
03:04.8
near Scarborough Shoal
03:06.8
kung saan actually may
03:08.8
de facto control or administrative control
03:10.8
ang China when the two allies carry out
03:12.8
next month their largest joint military exercises
03:14.8
to date. Eto ayayon sa
03:16.8
isang military official na kinausap
03:18.8
ang Philippine Daily Inquirer
03:20.8
recently. So, 17,000 troops will
03:22.8
participate. Almost
03:24.8
twice the 8,900 soldiers
03:26.8
or troops that participated in the
03:28.8
balikatan exercises last year
03:30.8
So, the annual joint military exercises called
03:32.8
balikatan or shoulder-shoulder will run
03:34.8
from April 11 to 28
03:36.8
will feature some 12,000
03:40.8
mas malaki yung number ng US soldiers
03:42.8
almost double the Filipino
03:44.8
So, around 5,000 Filipinos
03:46.8
around 12,000 American
03:48.8
troops. Huge, huge
03:50.8
and then there'll be other observers
03:52.8
and friends coming from other
03:54.8
allied nations, especially Australia
03:56.8
which has a status of forces agreement with us
04:00.8
So, the anticipated sinking exercise
04:02.8
of an old fishing vessel will be held
04:04.8
some 22 kilometers
04:06.8
only 12 nautical miles off Zambales
04:08.8
or about 185 kilometers
04:10.8
from Panatac Shoal
04:12.8
which of course kinuha ng China sa atin
04:14.8
de facto kinuha sa atin
04:16.8
noong 2012. Eto ayon
04:18.8
sa balikan ng spokesperson
04:20.8
Colonel Michael Logico
04:24.8
Colonel Logico, we will be
04:26.8
sinking a target vessel using a combination of
04:28.8
artillery, naval gunfare, and
04:30.8
aviation weapons. We'll be firing
04:32.8
HMARS, high mobility artillery
04:34.8
rocket systems. Our artillery, a combination of
04:36.8
Philippine Air Force and US Air Force rockets
04:38.8
and bombs and our frigates
04:40.8
Speaking of that, mga kameta
04:42.8
mahalaga to. Very, very interesting to
04:44.8
very interesting to because
04:46.8
may nakita tayong picture na nagsisirculate
04:50.8
pinost sa Twitter natin kasi marami tayong mga kameta
04:52.8
dyan na alam nila na
04:54.8
talagang mahilig tayo sa mga fighter jets
04:56.8
mga ganon. Etong pinost nito mga kameta
04:58.8
pakiconfirm, eto pa yung
05:00.8
salaknip exercise ba yan?
05:02.8
Kailan naganap yun? Eto pa yung this year?
05:04.8
So, eto pa yung picture
05:06.8
ng F-A-50 fighters natin
05:12.8
This is it. Kwapo talaga.
05:16.8
Ito, ito, ito. Yan yung hawak natin dito.
05:18.8
Sabay natin dito. Yan!
05:20.8
So, ito yung favorite natin ng F-22 fighter
05:22.8
This is the best of its kind
05:24.8
Right. Next level na yan.
05:26.8
Diba? So, yun ang
05:28.8
kasabay natin yung F-A-50 fighters natin
05:30.8
So, we're trying to catch up and
05:32.8
somehow trying, tinitry natin
05:34.8
na makisabay, no? Doon sa mga ating
05:38.8
even if yung aliyado natin
05:40.8
ang gamit nila ay
05:42.8
Again, no offense. I'm gonna use some examples
05:44.8
So, parang naka, how should I put it?
05:48.8
This is a, huwag nalang Ferrari, Lamborghini
05:50.8
nalang. Kasi, si anong maalala ko
05:52.8
pag Ferrari. Okay. So, Lamborghini
05:54.8
yung nasa US, diba? And then
05:56.8
yung gamit natin ay
05:58.8
Hindi naman Toyota Vios
06:00.8
I mean, no offense. This is a great car. Siguro, sabay natin
06:04.8
So, isang Mazda 3 at yung
06:06.8
isang Lamborghini. Sumasabay.
06:08.8
May laban naman ng Mazda 3. Mahal na mahal
06:10.8
natin yung kotso niya. Ang mga first natin yan.
06:12.8
So, yun, mga kameta. Sinakit daw yung
06:14.8
picture niya. Wait lang! Parang Pilipinas lang yan.
06:16.8
Oh, wait lang! F-A-50 fighters
06:18.8
natin yan. So, now palang
06:20.8
we're trying to have these joint exercises
06:22.8
fifth generation fighters from the United States
06:24.8
mga kameta. And hopefully
06:26.8
down the road, mga kameta, once we get our
06:28.8
4.5 generation fighters
06:30.8
or at least more updated fourth generation fighter
06:32.8
F-16. Updated F-16s.
06:34.8
And then we're going to be more prepared
06:36.8
to get our F-35 fighters. Because remember,
06:38.8
kato lang sinabi natin, these F-22
06:40.8
fighters are not going to be given to anyone else.
06:42.8
This is purely for the US Air Force.
06:44.8
But the F-35, it's becoming
06:46.8
cheaper, more affordable, and more
06:48.8
and more countries are operating it. Singapore is
06:50.8
operating it. I think two different types,
06:52.8
including vertical, yung isan
06:54.8
na vertically nag-rise,
06:56.8
at syaka yung Thailand
06:58.8
is also looking at potentially purchasing
07:00.8
F-35. So, at least two of our neighbors
07:02.8
are looking at getting F-35. I think
07:04.8
Indonesia will also be in the mix after cancelling
07:08.8
SU-57 deals with Russia.
07:10.8
Because of sanctions concerns,
07:12.8
secondary sanctions concerns, and of course everything is
07:14.8
far more complicated right now because of the war
07:16.8
in Ukraine. So, yun, biglang na-excite tayo.
07:18.8
So, yun, na-engki-sabay na tayo.
07:20.8
At least may supersonic fighter tayo na
07:22.8
almost fourth generation fighter.
07:24.8
So, that puts us in a very good position.
07:26.8
And hopefully we can do more and more
07:28.8
of this, mga kameta. So, medyo na-excite tayo doon.
07:30.8
Now, going back, naikita natin itong
07:32.8
mga kameta natin. YouTube na mga others
07:34.8
nag-comment, especially yung mga may alam
07:36.8
dyan sa military affairs. Yes,
07:38.8
big yan because we're looking at really
07:40.8
itong mga super advanced,
07:42.8
super advanced weapon system
07:44.8
being used here together with our allies.
07:46.8
So, this is gonna put us in
07:48.8
a very, very good position, mga kameta,
07:50.8
as we move forward. Now, obviously,
07:52.8
obviously, hindi naman
07:56.8
ang Philippines, hindi naman tayo kulang sa drama.
07:58.8
Right? So, may mga
08:00.8
hindi natutuwa sa mga nangyari
08:02.8
or at least are raising some sort
08:04.8
of concerns. I mean, no less than Presidential
08:06.8
Sister and Senator Ayun Marcos
08:08.8
earlier raised concerns about
08:10.8
whether this, not only
08:12.8
this balikatan in general, but this ETCA
08:14.8
and more and more
08:16.8
military exercises in the north of Philippines,
08:18.8
more and more US troops in the northern areas of Philippines,
08:20.8
isn't this a little bit too provocative?
08:22.8
We're supposed to have a separate
08:24.8
meta actually on this.
08:26.8
Sibling rivalry. What's going on here?
08:28.8
Ito. Ito yung si Ayun Marcos.
08:30.8
Kini-question niya yung ETCA
08:32.8
sites kasi sabi niya masyadong malapit
08:34.8
sa Taiwan. She also had concerns
08:36.8
about some of these exercises including
08:38.8
balikatan being held in the northern part of the Philippines
08:40.8
including Ilocos. So, very,
08:42.8
very interesting dynamics here. Very, very
08:44.8
interesting dynamics. And interestingly,
08:46.8
it's not only her, but you
08:48.8
also have, as I said, kinagusapan
08:50.8
natin niya mga kameta.
08:52.8
Yung iba kasi magbasa kayo bago
08:54.8
mag-comment na saan natin kinuha
08:56.8
yung mga sinasabi natin. Lahat ng mga sinasabi natin, mga kameta,
08:58.8
kinukuha natin sa
09:00.8
available sources.
09:02.8
Most of them are actually
09:04.8
public. So, it's not even confidential
09:06.8
or anything like that. But everything we do, of course, we back
09:08.8
it up with information and conversation.
09:10.8
Information from and conversation
09:12.8
with people in the know.
09:14.8
Kaya nga na-interview natin yung mga
09:16.8
top officials, etc. So, alam natin
09:18.8
mga kameta na yung governors nang kagaya
09:20.8
ng isabela. At si Aimee Marcos
09:22.8
are among people who have raised concerns
09:24.8
about ETCA, some of these
09:26.8
exercises in the north of country.
09:28.8
In fact, no less than Tatay Digong.
09:30.8
Meron din siyang sinabi
09:34.8
Sorry, I don't watch Tatay.
09:36.8
Ay, ay, ay, may payag
09:40.8
May payag si Tatay Digong. Ayoko na i-play yan.
09:42.8
Baka maano tayo na-SMN.
09:44.8
Tapos, sinight pa
09:46.8
ng Chinese Embassy. Yung mga sinasabi
09:50.8
Yung mga sinasabi ng Tatay, sinasabi ng
09:54.8
hindi SMNI version?
09:56.8
Baka maano tayo dyan. Ito na lang.
10:00.8
Ito pala yung term kay Tatay
10:04.8
I mean, former president.
10:06.8
Taray talaga, no? So, ito, ito, ito po.
10:08.8
So, nakita natin si Tatay Digong rin.
10:14.8
siya dito mga kameta.
10:16.8
So, there are a number of quite high-profile
10:18.8
people who are coming together
10:20.8
and raising some concerns about whether this
10:22.8
ETCA, whether this balikatan exercise
10:24.8
are a tad too provocative
10:26.8
and actually going to create more problems
10:30.8
of obviously, again, as I said, sana naman
10:32.8
magbasa tayo more about deterrence,
10:34.8
magbasa tayo more about what's happening around the region.
10:36.8
So, for instance, ito yung interview
10:38.8
discussion ni Tatay Digong
10:42.8
Nagsalita tungkol sa
10:44.8
talagang ETCA basis.
10:46.8
So, especially some of the basis that were
10:48.8
given. So, ito yung sinabi ni
10:52.8
Look, I'm not for America.
10:54.8
I'm not for China.
10:56.8
I am not for Taiwan.
10:58.8
I am not for anybody, but I am for
11:00.8
solely the interests of my country, the Republic of the
11:02.8
Philippines. Sabi mo eh.
11:04.8
Alright. So, ayon sa kanya,
11:08.8
mahal na presidente.
11:10.8
Mahal na mahal niya tayo, kaya
11:12.8
gusto niya na walang
11:14.8
masyadong cooperation with the U.S. there.
11:16.8
Kasi, I don't know, anong gusto niya mangyari na
11:18.8
maging unprepared tayo at wala tayong
11:24.8
si Digong ba yan?
11:26.8
Ayan, sabi nga Digong.
11:28.8
Pag maraming base in case of war
11:30.8
na talagang baka puputok ito,
11:32.8
multiple targets na tayo, and you know,
11:34.8
they do not do it by rockets
11:36.8
and mortars. It's going to be missiles
11:38.8
coming from South China Sea or wherever
11:40.8
land base facing the Philippines.
11:42.8
Uulanan tayo ng missiles.
11:48.8
huwag lang sana. Nako po.
11:50.8
Parang mas okay ang Tagalog ko dyan.
11:52.8
Ako ang akin lang tingin
11:54.8
huwag lang sana. Okay.
11:56.8
I think this is the
11:58.8
Okay, sabi niya, but because it is
12:00.8
we are being made a platform
12:02.8
for the arms. Hindi man lang sila
12:04.8
pwedeng maglagay doon kasi airport
12:06.8
dyan puputok na yan. So, dito
12:08.8
talaga sila. And that is what made the Philippines
12:10.8
vulnerable. Okay.
12:12.8
Masyadong malalim yata yung sinasabi ni Tatay.
12:14.8
Mamay na natin i-breakdown. Basta get
12:16.8
yun na yan. Ipo-post na natin dyan sa baba.
12:18.8
So, si Tatay Digong, si
12:20.8
Aimee Marcos, mga governors
12:22.8
ng Cagayan Isabela, a lot of them are raising
12:24.8
concerns about this ETCA and all. But as I said,
12:26.8
there's a reason why President
12:28.8
Marcos feels confident about this.
12:30.8
There's a reason why many believe that this is the right move
12:32.8
because you better deter aggression
12:34.8
by staying strong and keeping
12:36.8
strong and by also preparing para
12:38.8
hindi ka makamangmang. God forbid,
12:40.8
if something wrong really happens there.
12:42.8
Kaya naman, bahala magbasa kay Tatay dito.
12:44.8
Anong sabi niya ulit?
12:46.8
Ako, ang aking lang tingin
12:48.8
wag lang sana. Okay. Anyway,
12:52.8
sa aking palagay or something like that.
12:56.8
marami salamat. I'll just keep it here.
12:58.8
We'll have more discussion about
13:00.8
this especially about
13:02.8
the specifics of the criticisms
13:06.8
We'll talk more about
13:08.8
Palikatan. Hopefully, we can be there on the ground.
13:10.8
We're coordinating with our friends. We'll be on the ground.
13:12.8
We'll report about the war games
13:14.8
bilang First Media, etc.
13:16.8
God willing, we're going to interview people
13:18.8
in the know from AFP, other contacts.
13:20.8
We're going to talk about this more. But I'm just saying some huge
13:22.8
things are happening. There was a massive, massive
13:24.8
military exercise earlier
13:26.8
this week kung saan
13:30.8
Next level. They're deploying
13:34.8
missile systems and all for
13:36.8
preparation. We're openly citing
13:38.8
the case in Ukraine
13:40.8
to talk about preparing for a potential war
13:42.8
with a country that has a weapon system very similar
13:44.8
to Russia. Not to mention operational
13:46.8
doctrine and back in the day
13:48.8
similar ideology also when Russia
13:50.8
was the Soviet Union or the heart of the Soviet Union.
13:54.8
yung salaknip exercises
13:56.8
SHIELD in Ilocano that happened earlier
13:58.8
this week. The other one is
14:00.8
Balikatan, the biggest ever that's going to happen.
14:02.8
Again, both of them are
14:04.8
a lot of focus. There is an island defense
14:06.8
Philippine territory defense
14:10.8
weapon systems, of using modern
14:12.8
aircrafts. And then also in
14:14.8
Balikatan, there's going to be exercises about sinking
14:16.8
boats and ships, potentially from
14:18.8
enemy countries. Obviously, we know who
14:20.8
and this is going to be malapit sa Panatakshol
14:22.8
which is going to be a very interesting thing to watch.
14:24.8
So let me just say thank you. Salamat
14:26.8
talaga sa lahat ng mga
14:28.8
nanonot sa atin. Alam ko naman hindi naman lahat
14:30.8
kayo interesado sa ganito. Alam ko
14:32.8
gusto niyo pag-usapan pali yung
14:34.8
showbiz or yung mga ibang bardagulan, etc.
