PH, Japan Showcase Unified Naval Might in Bilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) launched a new phase of defense cooperation with the successful conduct of the 2nd Bilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity (MCA) on June 14, 2025, marking one of the first major joint activities following the recently ratified Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA) between the Philippines and Japan. More than a maritime drill, the MCA underscored the operationalization of the RAA—an accord that lays the groundwork for increased joint training, humanitarian assistance, and disaster response (HADR) initiatives between the AFP and JSDF. This activity highlights the deepening trust and coordination between the two allies as they respond to traditional and emerging security challenges in the region. Participating Philippine assets included the BRP Miguel Malvar (FFG06), AW159 anti-submarine helicopter, PAF C-208 ISR aircraft, and Search and Rescue units. Meanwhile, Japan deployed the JS Takanami (DDG110) and an SH-60K Seahawk helicopter, demonstrating joint capability in a wide array of naval operations. The MCA featured key exercise serials such as communication check exercise, anti-submarine warfare exercise, cross-deck exercise, Division Tactics and Officer of the Watch Maneuvers (DIVTACS/OOW), Photo Exercises (PHOTOEX), and a Finish Exercise (FINEX), showcasing seamless interoperability between the two forces. AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo S Brawner Jr. emphasized the broader strategic significance of the exercise, “This cooperative activity is more than a display of maritime capability—it is a manifestation of our enduring commitment to uphold peace, stability, and a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific. With the RAA now in effect, our coordination with Japan will only grow stronger and more responsive to the complex demands of our shared security environment.” Photos and Videos by: PO3 Gonzales PN / PAOAFP A1C Castro PAF / PAOAFP JMSDF #AFPyoucanTRUST #OneAFPOnePhilippines #StrongAFPStrongPhilippines #OurSeasOurRightsOurFuture

‼️‼️🇷🇺🇨🇳 BIG | Beijing and Moscow are taking their "no-limits" partnership deep into the Yellow Sea, flashing serious naval muscle right on Washington’s doorstep. The Chinese and Russian militaries have officially launched their massive "Joint Sea-2026" bilateral naval drills in the waters and airspace off the strategic port of Qingdao. Russia's Pacific Fleet deployment features high-value assets, including the guided-missile cruiser *Varyag*, the corvette *Rezkiy*, the diesel-electric submarine *Ufa*, and the specialized rescue vessel *Igor Belousov*. Mirroring this force, China's People's Liberation Army Navy has committed the advanced destroyers *Kaifeng* and *Anshan*, the frigate *Wuhu*, the comprehensive supply ship *Kekexili*, and a submarine rescue ship, all supported by shipborne helicopter units. Running until July 13, the high-stakes maneuvers will focus on aggressive joint operations, including anti-submarine warfare, coordinated air and missile defense, and joint artillery strikes, to be immediately followed by combined maritime patrols across the wider Pacific Ocean. This deployment isn't just a routine training exercise; it is a calculated geopolitical message aimed directly at the U.S. and its regional allies, coming just days ahead of the NATO summit. By conducting sophisticated multi-domain warfare drills in the highly sensitive Yellow Sea, Beijing and Moscow are signaling that their strategic alignment is actively hardening into an operational military axis capable of challenging Western maritime dominance in the Indo-Pacific.

TODAY: U.S. REHEARSAL FOR WAR ON CHINA Are you ready for war? You might think the world has more than enough wars, but these men [Images: Hegseth and Rubio] want more. The US today launches RIMPAC, seven days of war practice sessions to get ready for a planned US war on China. [Image: NYT headline about US preparing for war on China] The US has pulled in Australia, Japan, and other countries – 31 in all – to rehearse an attack against the world’s second largest economy. . NO ONE BELIEVES OFFICIAL AIM The official aim of the gathering is to “preserve freedom of navigation” but not one person believes it. There are 140 aircraft, 40 ships, five submarines and more than 25,000 personnel, in the Pacific near Hawaii, and I can guarantee that everyone involved knows what it is really about. The excuse, “freedom of navigation” has become a joke, since the ONLY nation that has gone out of its territory to illegal halt freedom of navigation in recent times is the United States, the organizer of this horrific display of warmongering. [Image: blockades in Iran, Cuba] Not only has China ever interrupted freedom of traffic on the seas, it would never do so. Analysts east and west agree on this. It is an export nation. Halting freedom of navigation would only do harm to its economy. . THE REAL DANGER Former diplomat Dr Alison Broinowski, said “There is no impediment to navigation in the Asia-Pacific, nor has there been any such impediment since the end of the Second World War. “We are not facing any threat to regional stability and security from China, our major trading partner. “Rather, it is the ongoing US and Australian provocations in the South China Sea that represent the real danger.” . CHANGING EXCUSE The war plan includes a casus belli – that’s a Latin term basically meaning “excuse to fight”. For a long time, the casus belli was Taiwan. The US creates a false flag explosion there, and off they go. But a number of generals have pointed out that the plan to steal Taiwan’s main industry and move it to Arizona is going slowly. An alternative casus belli is the Philippines. The US will blow up a Philippines ship and blame China. Asians, I hope, will be too smart to get caught up in this – but judging by the number of people who have signed up for RIMPAC, the US has a lot of influence. And by influence, of course, I mean… money.

#WATCH | Taipei, Taiwan: On Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting, Fellow of Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation, Sana Hashmi says, “… What we are seeing right now is something that is much more evolved and transformed and much more aligned with the interests of the four countries. In fact, the US Secretary of State was in Delhi, and one of the major reasons for his being in Delhi is to participate in the Quad Foreign Minister meeting…we need to pay more attention to the foreign ministers meeting, to the working groups…the reality is much more nuanced than the simplistic understanding of Trump going to China and meeting Xi. We have to understand that the Indo-Pacific is very much there, and the four countries have real concerns, and there is a common thread, and that is the China threat…the main point of discussion is China…there are several strategic factors that are driving the Quad, and that is driving the interest and willingness of the four countries to cooperate. Focusing on the maritime dimension is so very important, specifically when countries such as China are looking at developing blue water capabilities and the PLA becoming a blue water navy. We need to really focus on the maritime capabilities of the four countries and come together forming a coalition, cooperative arrangement where the four countries could actually secure the waters…India is the only country that is injecting the maritime component within the quadrilateral dialogue. India hosts the Malabar exercise, which is more or less now a de facto quad maritime exercise…we have seen during Covid how the four countries came together and became an important stakeholder in the health security as well…but it goes beyond the traditional security issues…we have to look at the timing (of the New Delhi Quad meeting). We also have to look at the location. It is just happening after the visit of the US President to China. This is also an indication from the US that it is willing to repair ties with India, and Indo-Pacific remains an important area for them…this is one of the reasons why tomorrow's meeting is crucial. It's not a new development that India is seen as a formidable power in the Indo-Pacific…when Trump came to power again, there were some hiccups in India-US relationships, but from Australia’s and Japan's perspective, India has been very important. And with that, Quad is also very important…Quad and Indo-Pacific cannot exist without India…from Taiwan's perspective, Quad is the only arrangement within the Indo-Pacific region that is indirectly dealing with the China threat…for Taiwan, China is an existential threat. There is an alignment of interest between Quad and Taiwan…”
