Military exercises sa West Philippine Sea, posible sa mga susunod na taon | #TedFailonandDJChaCha
00:42.8
Ted, asensya na, no?
00:44.0
Because ang function ko dito is as the executive agent ng exercise.
00:49.6
Yung mga presensya ng mga PLA and vessels,
00:54.9
that is already operational.
00:57.4
I can only speak about...
00:59.3
about the conduct and the execution of the exercise.
01:03.6
The presence of the Chinese surveillance vessels of Cebu.
01:11.5
I'm afraid I will have to defer to the spokesman of the National Task Force West Philippine Sea.
01:18.4
Pero ano po ang reaction ng tropa kapag ganyan?
01:21.9
Kapag may mga gano'n.
01:22.8
I mean, wala lang po.
01:25.3
Tuloy lang po ang ating mga exercises.
01:29.3
high morale po yung tropa, no?
01:31.3
I have certain videos actually na sineshare ko
01:35.2
on how excited yung mga tropa natin,
01:38.8
especially during the counter-landing exercise
01:41.3
na ginawa namin sa Ilocos Norte
01:43.7
where we fired on targets
01:46.5
in various distances from the shore of the La Paz sand dunes.
01:53.2
Some ranging from 5 kilometers,
01:56.0
others 800 meters.
01:57.9
Ginamit natin yung...
01:59.1
Philippine Army Atmos,
02:01.0
yung Philippine Marine 105s and 155s,
02:04.9
and high morale po sila
02:06.5
pag tinatamaan nila yung mga targets.
02:10.3
we have conducted maritime strike.
02:14.5
Pinalubog namin yung BX,
02:16.6
former BRT Caliraya,
02:18.2
former Navy refueler ship,
02:23.3
off the coast of La Laguio, Ilocos Norte.
02:26.8
at the distance of...
02:29.1
8 nautical miles,
02:31.3
tapos dinamit natin yung mga bagong kagamitan ng Philippine Navy
02:34.7
tulad ng non-line-of-sight missile system
02:38.0
na nilaunch namin from the fast attack interdictionary craft.
02:44.8
ginamit natin yung C-STAR missile
02:48.5
for the very first time
02:49.6
fired from BRP Jose Rizal.
02:53.5
nagpalitan kami with the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.2
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.5
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.5
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.5
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.5
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.5
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.6
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.6
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.7
the U.S. Air Force,
02:58.7
the U.S. Air Force,
02:59.1
the Philippine Air Force
03:00.7
dropped the AGM-65 bombs
03:03.6
coming from the F-50s,
03:05.6
tapos yung U.S. Air Force,
03:07.0
they dropped the GBU-38 bombs
03:12.8
dun sa situation room namin
03:14.5
when we conducted the exercise,
03:16.2
all of us were very high moral.
03:18.9
nag-celebrate kami nung nakita namin
03:20.9
na direct hit yung mga tama
03:24.9
and the U.S. forces.
03:32.7
that was a big victory.
03:34.1
na-accomplish natin
03:34.8
yung mga training objectives natin.
03:36.9
If you ask the AFP,
03:39.8
yung state of moral namin
03:42.3
Especially knowing that
03:43.8
all of this training
03:47.0
and we are already
03:49.9
already made great improvements
03:52.9
if we are already going to shift
03:53.9
to external defense.
03:56.3
yung pong sinasabi ng iba,
04:00.4
na ang inyong exercise?
04:02.0
Tutal ho naman dito po
04:03.1
sa inyo pong ginawang dami
04:08.1
sa Karagatan din po.
04:13.4
Pwede bang gumawa kayo
04:15.5
near the Scarborough
04:19.8
o areas po ngayon na?
04:23.3
I don't want to say it right now
04:26.1
kasi we are planning for that.
04:28.5
Baka maunahan nyo pa kami.
04:33.1
we are already making plans.
04:37.9
The only reason we could not do it
04:43.9
12 million miles,
04:47.5
laws and clearances
04:52.4
for this year kasi
04:57.9
international clearances.
05:00.7
if we do it within
05:02.0
12 nautical miles,
05:04.5
local laws will apply.
05:07.2
Kaya local din yung clearances,
05:09.1
the level of DNR.
05:13.6
and drop munitions
05:15.4
anywhere in the water
05:16.8
because there are also
05:17.8
international conventions
05:21.9
And part of which
05:23.3
is the preservation
05:26.1
underneath the surface.
05:28.5
environmental laws
05:31.4
And there's a difference
05:33.2
inside of the nautical miles
05:36.6
If you do it outside,
05:39.1
a little bit complicated yun.
05:41.3
international clearances.
05:43.5
that is the issue.
05:47.1
We have the capability
05:49.6
in the real world,
05:55.5
But if you ask me,
05:59.7
of the nautical miles
06:00.7
because we want also
06:04.4
at that distance.
06:11.8
kapag dito sa atin
06:13.5
territorial waters,
06:16.2
we can do the permits.
06:18.3
Kapag ba ganyan na
06:20.0
bago kayo magbomba
06:24.0
yung pangangalaga
06:25.5
dito po sa ilalim
06:27.7
yung marine habitat
06:30.6
how do you assess that?
06:32.7
that's also another reason
06:34.2
we do it at a certain
06:36.3
time of the year,
06:37.3
we do it at a certain
06:42.5
If you're in wartime,
06:46.4
the state of armed conflict,
06:49.5
you can fire anywhere,
06:52.1
at any direction.
06:56.2
when you're in training,
06:57.3
safety procedures to apply.
07:04.0
the choice of where
07:05.0
we have to position the ship
07:07.0
has to be at a certain depth.
07:09.0
Kaya yung pag-locate namin ng,
07:13.0
pag-release namin ng target ship,
07:16.6
talagang pinili namin yung depth na yan.
07:20.4
Kasi ang requirement sa amin,
07:22.7
not less than 1,000 feet
07:24.7
ang lalim ng tubig.
07:26.7
The reason is so that
07:28.7
the entire ship can fully sink.
07:30.7
Dapat pag lumubog yan,
07:32.7
talagang hindi na siya magiging
07:34.7
hagabal sa navigation of future,
07:36.7
kasi kung dadaanan man yan,
07:38.7
hindi siya magiging hazard
07:40.7
to future navigation.
07:42.7
So that's the rules that
07:44.7
was given to us by DNR and at the same time,
07:46.7
we made sure that
07:48.7
the entire Lake Caliraya
07:50.7
na-strict clean namin for any
07:52.7
oils and lubricants or any toxic material,
07:54.7
that would also be hazarded to future navigation.
07:56.7
So that's the rules that were given to us
07:58.7
to reduce the habitat.
08:00.7
Kaya ano eh, we've already,
08:02.7
may set of compliance namin, napaka-higpit.
08:04.7
Kaya kinumply namin lahat yan before we
08:06.7
cleared the LABRP Caliraya for target.
08:10.7
So sir, panghuli na lang po, Colonel.
08:12.7
Ito ho kasi mga ginagamit natin ngayon
08:14.7
ng mga ano ho, itong mga newly acquired natin,
08:18.7
pandigma na ating
08:20.7
tinetesting, kumbaga pinapractice.
08:22.7
Walang problema kasi atin na ito.
08:24.7
Meron ho bang mga iiwan
08:26.7
sa atin dito ang ating
08:28.7
mga counterpart nyo
08:30.7
from France or America na mga gamit nila
08:32.7
eventually po dito po sa ginagawa nyo,
08:34.7
exercise? Well Ted, it does not
08:36.7
really work that way.
08:38.7
Siyempre, if they are
08:40.7
going to leave anything, it is with
08:42.7
an exercise support agreement.
08:44.7
Normally, when it comes
08:48.7
normally it's mga little things,
08:50.7
like for example, water
08:52.7
that they use here, siyempre hindi na nila
08:54.7
ibalik yan. Rather than
08:56.7
dispose it, they would rather
08:58.7
give it to us or give it to the communities.
09:00.7
But those are little things.
09:02.7
Mga malilit na bagay lang yan.
09:04.7
When you talk about armaments,
09:06.7
yung mga weapon systems,
09:08.7
that's a different thing because
09:10.7
may nakapirma dyan. May tao
09:14.7
there in their organization, may tao
09:16.7
dyan accountable para dyan sa
09:18.7
event na yan. And that's a very
09:22.7
highly valuable piece of
09:24.7
equipment that they do not just leave behind.
09:26.7
Except if, for example,
09:28.7
they intend to use it for the
09:30.7
next exercise. Kasi immediately
09:32.7
after balikatan, may susunod pa
09:34.7
na exercise, yung salaknib, yung
09:38.7
rather than bring it back,
09:40.7
they leave it to us for
09:42.7
safekeeping, binabantayan natin.
09:44.7
But that is not for our use.
09:48.7
some of the things, hindi pa sila
09:50.7
compatible sa atin. For example,
09:58.7
na ginagamit ng F-16.
10:00.7
It's not compatible with our unit.
10:02.7
Even if they leave it here, hindi rin natin
10:04.7
magagamit. So it's
10:06.7
a very complicated
10:08.7
procurement. The only safe thing is that
10:10.7
if we see something we
10:12.7
believe is useful for us, ipoprocure
10:14.7
natin properly. Okay. Sige po.
10:16.7
Kung baga din po, I think meron din hubang
10:18.7
di ba meron po tayong kasunduan
10:20.7
na sa kanila para po sa
10:22.7
ibigay po nila ng military
10:24.7
assistance sa atin. So yung mga
10:28.7
na may listahan na po na pagkasunduan
10:30.7
na ibibigay sa atin ng mga gamit. Ano po?
10:32.7
Well, alam mo Ted,
10:34.7
once again, I can only speak about
10:36.7
the exercise that we're doing in procurement.
10:40.7
about procurement. Kaso lang
10:44.7
more competent person than me who can
10:46.7
comment sa mga procurement na yan.
10:48.7
Sige po. So salamat po na marami,
10:50.7
Colonel. And good luck.
10:52.7
Hanggang kailan po ito, Colonel?
10:54.7
Actually, our closing ceremony will be
10:58.7
just doing an after-action review
11:00.7
dun sa ginawa naming exercise
11:02.7
kahapon. So all of
11:04.7
these things are just going to be admin stuff.
11:06.7
Some of them are going to be
11:08.7
retrograde and then mag-closing
11:10.7
na po kami bukas. Okay, sir. Mabuhay po.
11:12.7
Salamat, Colonel. Thank you. Salamat po.
11:14.7
Thank you very much. Thank you.
11:16.7
Si Colonel Michael
