Sa pambukas na seremonya na ginanap nitong Lunes sa Naval Station Jose Andrada, Maynila,

readiness and a testament of the enduring bond between the Philippines and the United States.”


Sinabi pa ni Adaci na hindi lamang ang pagde-depensa ng ating teritoryo ang sakop ng
exercise, kundi pati na rin ang paglaban sa krimen na nagmumula sa ibayong dagat.
