CAMP AGUINALDO, QUEZON CITY, Philippines – Medical experts from the Philippine Air Force (PAF) and United States Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) concluded a three-day virtual Global Health Engagement on Wednesday, as part of the ongoing Balikatan Exercise.
The knowledge exchange and key leader engagement which started on April 12 was held virtually for the first time due to conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The global pandemic may have limited some aspects of the Balikatan Exercise but it will never dampen the spirit of friendship, partnership, and shared aspirations of both the Philippines and United States armed forces,” said Major General Edgard Arevalo, Commander of AFP Education Training and Doctrine Command and Exercise Director of Balikatan 2021.
