(UPDATE) THE five-day bilateral maritime exercises with the Royal Australian Navy that ended on Saturday have equipped Philippine Navy (PN) personnel with the knowledge and skill to handle ships with anti-submarine capabilities, such as the one purchased by the government and which is expected to arrive soon, to beef up security in the West Philippine Sea.
The chiefs and vice chiefs of government agencies in the security sector met Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio on Monday, Sept. 5, in a command conference to discuss the country's peace and order and security situation.
