00:00Philippine Navy ships took part in the Pagbubuklod 2025 exercise, putting naval forces through their paces in intensive maritime drills.
00:09The large-scale training is meant to keep the country on solid footing as it strengthens its overall defense posture.
00:16Our Patrick De Asus reports.
00:1812 Philippine Navy vessels participated in the unilateral exercise Pagbubuklod 2025 of the Philippine fleet.
00:31It was conducted from November 17 to November 24 in Subic, Zambales, focusing on anti-surface subsurface warfare, anti-air warfare, and electronic warfare.
00:48Through simulated combat scenarios and subject matter expert exchanges, air assets of the Naval Air Warfare Force were also used in the exercise,
00:58along with two F-A-50 aircraft of the Philippine Air Force.
01:04The serviceds were among the 1,000 personnel who participated.
01:09Exercise Pagbubuklod is aligned with the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept or CAD-C
01:15to further strengthen the Philippines' maritime domain defense against potential threats and enhance the readiness of our forces.
01:23The three-day interagency Pagsasanay San Nakas between the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
01:30Philippine National Police, and Philippine Coast Guard concluded this Wednesday.
01:35Ideas and the coordination of doctrines were exchanged here to establish a unified framework in responding to various types of situations.
01:45According to AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner Jr., unity among the AFP, PNP, and PCG is crucial in times of crisis.
01:56Despite the differences, makikita ninyo, iba-iba yung kulay ng ating uniforme, but it is still the uniform that we wear.
02:04And together with this uniform come the values that we hold dear to each of our services.
02:11Together, we safeguard our sovereignty, maintain peace and order, and protect our waters.
02:20This is the first year of Pagsasanay San Nakas, and activities under it are targeted to expand with more government agencies involved.
02:29Expect that in the next iterations, palakin ng palaki ito, hindi lamang tabletop exercise.
02:34We could move on later on to a command staff exercise, command post exercise, and then later on the field training exercise.
02:43Ang aim naman talaga natin dito is the whole of nation approach in engaging our security challenges.
02:51So yun yung pinaka main goal namin dito.
02:56As it grows, other agencies will come in.
