00:00 Shooting at distant targets at sea is what is being practiced today in the Balikatan Exercises
00:06 using a new rocket system of America.
00:10 And from Quezon, Palawan, Ian Luz is live. Ian.
00:16 Yes, Vicky, in the Balikatan Exercise that is being conducted today,
00:21 they are focused on targets at sea.
00:24 Here, you can also see the firing of the new artillery of America.
00:30 [Rocket fire]
00:37 Even if it is raining heavily, the rockets fired by the US Army's High Mobility Artillery Rocket System or HIMARS
00:47 were fired from the south of the country, a barangay on the west side of the Philippine Sea, here in Rizal, Palawan,
00:53 as part of the training of Filipino and American soldiers.
00:57 [Rocket fire]
01:00 HIMARS was the first to be fired at the so-called nearest enemy, which is in the West Philippine Sea.
01:05 Next to be heard is the firing of the 105mm Howitzer of the Philippine Marines.
01:12 [Rocket fire]
01:15 This is for the nearest target at sea.
01:17 [Rocket fire]
01:19 Many lights were seen in the distance.
01:22 This is the star cluster that is fired by Filipino and American soldiers to see the enemy.
01:28 Earlier, when the enemy was still far away, here in the west Philippine Sea,
01:34 HIMARS was the first to be fired at the enemy.
01:37 Next to this is the 105mm Howitzer of the Philippine Marine Corps.
01:41 But when the enemy is close, the one who is backing up now are the ground troops of the Filipino and American soldiers
01:49 who are hiding here in the plants and grass on the beach.
01:54 As for the machine guns, rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers,
01:58 a tank is also involved in the action to intercept the enemy.
02:02 Several boats serving as targets at sea were hit.
02:06 We are simulating a threat coming from the seas to our shorelines.
02:12 And so we are using our multi-domain capabilities to defend our sovereignty.
02:20 And for our HIMARS, what we do is we work as a close part of that combined joint task force
02:28 to really look at a potential adversary as we look at protecting the sovereignty here.
02:34 These two hovercrafts came from a US Navy ship that is docked in the west Philippine Sea.
02:40 From the sea, the amphibious vehicle is heading straight to the coast of Campung Ulay.
02:45 It is the two HIMARS or High Mobility Artillery Rocket System.
02:49 In order to get the HIMARS down here, we flew them down from Luzon into Palawan,
02:56 got off the aircraft, put it on a ship via El Cacto, moved it down the coast off of the El Cacto,
03:04 and then here on the beach.
03:06 The HIMARS' performance earlier was seen as good,
03:10 as it was able to strengthen our external defense.
03:14 Any new equipment will be beneficial to the armed forces, not only for the Marines.
03:19 We also welcome this kind of hardware.
03:23 The armaments are located in front of the west Philippine Sea,
03:27 where China's aggression against the Philippine ships is being carried out.
03:31 If you look at the map, in front of Rizal, Palawan and Ayungin Shoal,
03:36 there is also a mischievous reef controlled by China, even if it enters our Exclusive Economic Zone.
03:42 AFB asked if China cannot destroy the canyon in front of the west Philippine Sea.
03:48 It was very speculative.
03:50 This is quite a distance and we are only firing within our maritime zones and our territory.
03:59 Vicky, from Palawan, I expect the Balikatan exercise to continue in the mainland Luzon for the next few days.
04:09 That's the latest from Palawan. Back to you, Vicky.
04:12 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
