00:00Masusing pag-aaralan ang posibleng paglipat ng anima na Abukuma-class destroyer escort na alok ng Japan sa Pilipinas.
00:09Bubuhuin na mga eksperto ng Philippine Navy ang team na mag-inspeksyon sa naturang mga barko.
00:15Narito ang ulat.
00:18Hindi pa pinalang pag-transfer sa Pilipinas ng mga barkong pandigma mula sa Japan.
00:23Sabi ni Defense Secretary Gibote Yodoro,
00:25Pag-aaralang maigi kung magiging akmas sa fleet ng Philippine Navy ang anim na Abukuma-class destroyer escort na alok ng Japan.
00:34Bahagi pa na magiging konsiderasyon ang gagastusin sa paggamit sa mga natunang warship na nasa 30 taon ang nasa serbisyo at ginamit ng Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
00:45It will add to the fleet size, but that will depend on whether we need to spend money for weaponizing it,
00:55for interoperability, for secure communications.
00:59The exercise to upgrade the weapon systems of all our existing vessels is a continuing exercise.
01:08So it's a balance, it's a resource management balance between acquiring new and maintaining and repurposing the old and the ordered vessels to come.
01:25Ayon sa Philippine Navy, sa Agosto'y sasagawa ang inspeksyon.
01:29Kasunod ng imbitasyon mula sa Japan Ministry of Defense natatagal ng dalawang linggo.
01:34Bubuwi ng Joint Visual Inspection Team na mga Service Warfare Officer, Sea Systems Experts, Financial Analyst at Logistisyan.
01:43We will know if it is still viable to accept these warships.
01:48That remains to be seen. That will be known upon the conduct or after the conduct of the JVI.
01:54Appropriately, we'll be forwarding a recommendation to General Headquarters and to the Department of National Defense
02:01on what system upgrades are required.
02:05Ang Abukuma-class destroyer escort ng Japan ay may kaparehong kapabilidad sa Jose Rizal-class frigates ng Philippine Navy.
02:14These destroyer escorts also have specific capabilities that we require.
02:20Anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, electronic warfare, anti-air warfare.
02:26So, the acquisition or the potential transfer of these assets would greatly enhance the Philippine Navy's capability
02:35to further support the comprehensive archipelagic defense concept.
02:39Samantala, naitala nitong Hunyo ang pinakamaraming barkon ng China sa West Philippine Sea ngayong taon.
02:45Sa monitoring ng Philippine Navy, apat na punsyam na barkon ng China Coast Guard at People's Liberation Army Navy
02:52ang namataan sa Bao de Masinlok, Ayungin Shoal at Pag-asa Island.
02:57Posibleng dahilan daway ang lagay ng panahon at deployment cycle sa magkakaibang bilang ng mga barkon ng China kada buwan.
