- The U.S. and the Philippines have carried out the largest-ever annual military exercises amid an escalation of Chinese military activity around Taiwan. For the first time, this year included a focus on the defense of the northern Philippines.
Watch as Stinger missiles and drones are fired into the South China Sea as WSJ’s Shelby Holliday explains what makes this year’s drills different.

We need our strongest alliance, to defend our territory. I love America, Mabuhay mga Pilipino
We love you guys may our alliance hold forever
let’s pray that we can avoid any further conflict
Its very obvious, the US going to use the Philippines in their conflict with China.
Just look at how fast just after Marcos Jr got elected, the US comes in, 9 US bases set up, and now a large military exercise for war.
And economic co-operation with the United States?
The US and the Philippines haven't started talking on that yet.
War comes first.
It's all China's call to decide where we go from here. If they attack Taiwan , we're moving in
war is an unavoidable part of human progress. as long as there's something of value, people are going to want to take it. the best you can do is make war more beneficial to you than to your enemy
Ask China not to scalate the situation. They are the reason why Philippines fight back.
I love the Philippines, & it's people, my neighbors here in the US are Filipino, & took my son in & I like FAMILY, even into their church!!! 😊👍💯
i i
How are you
I appreciate you loving are country just so you know not everyone of us are kind
Wow, tell us more..
Love Philippines and USA
Justice for West Philippine Sea 🇵🇭💪🌊
As a Filipino I fear that war is glooming not only in PH but also in Taiwan and I will participate on it since I am of legal age to join the military.
Justice for west Philippine Sea
Join now, you will need to practice drills and duties of you want to be ready. Be safe!
God Bless you
I'll see you in the Frontline
Goodluck while I sit at home and want no part of war war nerds
A beautiful island with military base...go Philippines 🇵🇭and USA 🇺🇸
i like how he said west philippine sea and not south china sea
It's south china sea
@@q3itachyon209 we filipinos called it west Philippine sea, China is so far from our waters, International community cant dictate us because it is our waters
@@q3itachyon209wrong. End the CCP
@@junmin3089 never :) China's 9 dash lines says otherwise.
@@q3itachyon209 Its only the portion of South China Sea that Philippines claims that they renamed to West Philippine Sea, the remaining area is still called South China Sea even by the Philippines.
GOD BLESS US MILITARY AND PHILIPPINE MILITARY
The Bashi strait ,can now be better monitored and defended . The Japanese are fortifying the Ryukyu islands with Anti air and anti ship missiles ,and now the Philippines ,together with USA ,will fortify its Northern Babuyan and Batanes islands . This is good news for Taiwan ,because in the event of war ,China won't be able to perform a pincer maneuver or encircle the main island .Thus Taiwan's North /South flanks are now well protected . China now has no choice but to declare war on both Japan and the Philippines ,if it wants to wage war on Taiwan ,and by extension the United States itself ,due to decades long mutual defense treaties.
Thank You Errik! 🍻
That's not good news if im china.
You mean you'll lose your islands as compensation if you go to war.
yeah if china pushes to take taiwan in force they really need to declare war on both japan and philippines. I'm a filipino as standby reserve force currently working as merchant mariner i will immediately join the Navy/Marines.
Does China look worried? Those military forces you mentioned are nothing but a bunch of paper tigers! All TW independence separatist forces will be wiped out completely!
WPS is Our 💪🇵🇭
Yoshh!🇵🇭💪🌊
Thank you for keeping this alliance going!❤
Yes
I seem to recall that almost every US military exercise is the " Largest-Ever". 😂
As a filipino, I can attest to that They always do from day 1... 😂😅
No this is the largigest one.
That is what you called *Evolving*
Dude, you have to upgrade/level up.
Get it? STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE !
@@ssarsi whatever you say haha
Largest beacuse of the number of troops
Great job ladies and gentlemen
Thanks United States, and God bless US and Phil.
The early stages of ww3 folks, only a matter of time before he'll gets loose. I pray for the soldiers of US and Philippines, especially because I was born in Luzon, Philippines.
"he'll", daw.😂😅😊
@@maxmustermann19203 why do people wish war will happen? Are they bored and sick people?
This headline is very misleading. It is not to 'counter China', rather it is an annual military exercise to improve the interoperability of troops under VFA as well as renewing commitments of EDCA between the US and PH. The two militaries made it clear already besides this has been practiced for more than decades.
agree
God bless amireca tks for help pilipino military
❤
Thanks you so much america for helping the phlippines. God bless
Long live to Independant Philippines
That sounds like fun
Biggest Show of Force Joint US-Phillipines Sea Exercise!
THE BEST!!!! TEAM!!! 📡🌐🛰🇺🇸🇵🇭🇯🇵✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
I am a Filipino living in the PH and I thank God that the USA remains committed to these Islands. My personal opinion is that I wish perhaps the US will give us a path to statehood. Many Filipinos like me, except the communists terrorist ones who want to usher in the CCP, would feel the same. We would have been better off as Americans and the world would be at more peace here. At the very least: Station all you wish, your troops, bombers, nuclear missiles, destroyer ships and air craft carriers here USA. We don’t want a world run by war mongering dictators!
😂😂😂
Your Lolo's/Lola's were given a choice in the past...the 51st State or Independence. They chose the latter and it was "granted."
Speak for yourself, lol! You don't represent majority of Filipinos like myself who want the Philippines to remain independent & a sovereign country!
lol “war mongering” should be used to describe your ally, based on the history of the past several decades.
@@pexel_tubepick up a book... almost every country the US has occupied was ran by a dictatorship. Many of them choose to go out the hard way. 🫡

Filipinos are the most westernized South East Asian country. The culture, beliefs, music and media, they even wear US brand shirts and even the Language. It must be the colonization of the Island from the Americans, I thought they will be more Spanish from more than 300years of Spanish colony. They are unique.
You forgot to include foods and sports. We love Piizza and burgers, and Basketball is the No.1 sports here..
Our religion is from spanish.. vast majority are Roman Catholics
We are more American because their way of colonization is through education not like the Spanish they just get our natural resources, making filipinos as slave, and little education. that's why we become more american than spanish.
@@adrln1818 they also directly caused 200 thousand to 1 million Filipino civilians to die. Put them in concentration camps and slaughtered whole villages.
They even infected Filipino prisoners with the bubonic plague as experimentation under the occupation, killing dozens with these experiments. And that's only the ones that have gone public.
We speak "SpangTagLish" 3 in 1 idk what happened to Arigato.
Yes, because we also have colonial mentality and idolize anything western. But for most part, I still see Philippines as asian especially in provinces. There's a lot more asian in Philippines than meets the eye
People complain about America's obsession with overfunding our military, and I do agree we spend wayyy too much, but then I think about "If we didn't do this, who would or wouldn't?" and it occurs to me if China or Russia was in the same boat, we wouldn't be looking at a free world in any sense of the word.
Believe be Russia and China would allow your country to be more free than the US will.
Its too late now. Marcos Jr has taken the bait, the Philippines is hooked by the United States of America.
The Philippines is now a puppet of the US.
If USA didnt try to interfer, this 2 aggressive countries would engulf smaller countries and eventually will take arrogant movement to US
Military spending vs welfare spending. Pros vs cons placed side by side yeah I’d take our military over welfare every day of the week.
Position anti ship missiles and Patriot system on these areas please.
Position Nuclear weapons and Bring back Subic bay! Station the 7th fleet here! Make Filipinos the ship builders of American Navy.
In the face of hypersonic weapons with variable orbits, these are all decorations.
@@huas5350 😂😂😂th-cam.com/video/-KDpBFgP-U0/w-d-xo.html
US needs to retrofit Zumwalt class with hypersonic missiles ahead of sched and develop of anti hypersonic missiles while positioning for the meantime Ph Brhamos missiles on the north.
@@huas5350 overated and over hyped 😂😂😂
This is like playing chicken both sides daring each other to fire the first shot.
With the US is on the sidelines, urging the two sides on.
Sorry but those EDCA BASES should have contract of leases and the PH Gov't should have access for inspections of the military equipments that arriving to the territory like any other hosts countries like Australia, Poland and others...
Sorry to say but Poland, Australia and the others have the capability to defend themselves unlike Philippines who has one of the weakest military amongst US allies. Philippines need US more than the other way around
Yeah , very good

Your beautiful 😍 loved it😘😘🇵🇭🇺🇸
To be frank the PH GOV had no choice but to step over into the other side of the garden
because philippines have been so nice to china for the past 2 decades philippines is always the first trying to compramise the dispute but china always want more, philippine is already poor that it can't offer much but is trying to fix things
but china want's its pride to be restored because they said that china have been humiliated for the past 10 decades or so
unlike the philippines who admits their defeat in wars but their pride is untarnished and keeps getting stronger ( the people not the military but now the AFP is getting stronger and stronger fit for its warriors )
The people from the Philippines should remember that its history is full of examples of exploitation and colonization by foreign powers such as Spain and then followed by the US. Why is it that the Philippines can not chart its own destiny where it addresses the domestic issues that keeps it from becoming a more prosperous nation like Malaysia or even Vietnam ? Asia should not shun foreign countries of course but welcome them if they are sincere in participating in a constructive manner in the vibrant and the dynamic economic regions of Asia. Allowing foreign countries to establish military bases which basically promotes the creation of blocks of hostilities among Asian nations is certainly not one of them.
Yeah we learn from the history of exploitation and colonization. China is no different in this day and age.
I had expected better from the Wall Street Journal. These are exercises that have been taking place for years not necessarily to target or provoke any country..... or to counter China. Also, if you'll be sending a Reporter from the U.S. to any country, you might as well have that reporter interview a local Officer of that country to get their perspective on things and not just interview a fellow American.
💯^ balikatan had always been for training purposes with no intent to provoke another nation, these reporters are dragging the ph into a mess 🤦
@@mannabschannel wow. Nice insight. Why do I feel like history will repeat itself and we will be another battleground?
@Tank Man and can you? Media plays a huge part in wars too. These reporters only see the perspective of Americans, not the Filipinos. No need for a map to see that. Ikaw may mapa ka nga siguro, Di ka naman makaintindi

Ultimate self cucking 🤣
Majority of Pilipinos will agree or tatally approved the joint partnership of US abd philippines!!! The Philippines should thanks the assistance of the US extended to our Country soecially helping us in protecting our sovereignity!! We are a proud race BUT lets admit it WE PILIPINOS cannot fight the Chinese if they happen to imvade our Country! Its a give and take relationship.. lets face reality!! WE need helps from Countries Who will extend their helping hands to us!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

不明白有些菲律宾人有了美国的撑腰甚至觉得可以和中国打一仗，真够愚蠢的，我想问战场在哪？
You think we are stupid enough to go to China and fight with you?
You should open your eyes a little bit more so that you can see how your fellow Chinese people are bullying our poor fisher folks in our own territories in the West Philippin Sea. Greedy people.
China has already occupied Philippine islands in the WPS, when they took taiwan, the next target will be the northern Luzon specifically the benham rise or Philippine rise which they already named. Cpp expansion will never end until they take the sun and moon and other parts of the universe.
Hoy Intsek idilat mo yang mata mo! The battlefield is right there in your Fake sandpit that belong to the Philippine archipelago. We are an island nation and not a China wall.
try us then

Acting as the legacy of imperialism and the hegemony, Philippines does not get much economically from the US; Meanwhile, forced to arm itself as a strong bastion.
Understand the distinction between territorial integrity and economic partnerships.

Masama man ang digmaan, minsan yan lang ang solusyon para ipagtanggol mo ang iyong kalayaan, sa mga taong mapang api at nang aapi, sa mga bansang maliliit at hindi kayang ipagtanggol ang sarili. (Even if war is bad, sometimes that's the only solution to defend your freedom, from people who are oppressors and the oppressed, from countries that are small and unable to defend themselves.)

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household” (Matthew 10:34-36).
The Philippine-American War, known alternatively as the Philippine Insurrection, Filipino-American War,or Tagalog Insurgency,was fought between the First Philippine Republic and the United States from February 4, 1899, until July 2, 1902. Tensions arose after the United States annexed the Philippines under the Treaty of Paris at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War rather than acknowledging the Philippines' declaration of independence,
Filipino civilians: 200,000-1,000,000 died, most because of famine and disease; including 150,000-200,000 dead from cholera. Filipino Soilders died : not accounted.

I Like How The South China Sea Becomes The West Philippines Sea
Need Lots Of Harpoons For That
So you saying Indian Ocean own by India? it doesn't mean english man named it south china sea, china has the rights to claim entire sea. when during ancient times, Austronesian people were dominated in Southeast Asia including Taiwan, Madagascar and Pacific Region. and also dominated ancient maritime silk trade routes in Southeast Asia to Arab Region and Madagascar.. What do you think, why Southeast Asia countries were Hinduism and Buddhism culture before?

The End is near…😢
Long live the Philippines & Filipino - American friendship. It's not all about fighting though. This also provides opportunities for the Filipino people via commerce & tourism. 🇵🇭 + 🇺🇸 = SUCCESS
Can we stop talking about tourism when this is all about security and defense?
Ya... not really. U.S occupied the country for 50 years. Now the U.S if offering money so they can put bases there.
The US bases do provide work opportunities to Filipinos and substantial revenue for the government..
Commerce & tourism, I don't think so. The United States don't do those.
All hail the President Bongbong Marcos of the Philippines with his American counterpart Joe Biden's US troops!
Is that gorilla the Secretary of Defense of the United States?🤣🤣🤣
显然菲律宾无法阻止美国在菲律宾发射导弹攻击中国战舰。而菲律宾的战争状态显然已经由美国决定。这已经是我最委婉的说法了。
all beacause of the bully china
I prefer the US here to help phil. economy than be under communist.
Respect and God bless you all have to inform about a group that are insisting on treat on my properties to inform that they must be track they are treating they are calling God bless you
*PH perspective: For climate change
*US perspective: For China
😊
You can have all the latest military equipments US forces but if your lacking in your Sacred Will to resist the fighting spirit you can never win! Look listen and learn from your past experiences! As the Talibans in Afghanistan use to say the West have all the watches but we got the time! K
look at the beautiful beach! I bet some GI's are having a great time there as compared to, say Middle East.
China is having exercise every week, will this annual drill make Phillipines army ready for war?

Taiwan is excellent
And Philippines is great ally for USA
Make me proclaimed God's Kingdom
The Philippines made the USA leave in 1991.
It is better that some islands in the farthest places in the Philippines that are not yet fully develop and some islands that are still inhabited and develop like Batanes islands ,Puga island,Pagasa island,Scarborough shoal,Ayungin shoal,Spratly islands that our government could not do anything to develop due to lack of funds .Let the US,Japan and other allied countries develop and built military bases in the islands in accordance with EDCA .There is no more question about if ever some others politicians who are pro china with vested interest who will always contradict?Surely it will protect the Pilipino people from Chinas aggression and invassion and will create more jobs for Filipino people who have no jobs as their source of income at the present...to sustain their families daily needs...Fishing development,AAgricultural,Cattle development,Factories to be built by the Japanese..electronic and computer and many others?
Explore and develop potential oil in the West Phil Sea like Indonesia,Malasia and brunei.....as they were today?They are our neighbors asian countries that are rich today?
I salute the USA-Philippines Armed Forces preparation for Communist China provocations and continue threat against the right of the US Navy and the Philippines sovereignty.
What happens if all soldiers and military personnel around the world don’t follow orders? War prevented?
What are you 12 years old? Soldiers follow orders. It is what we signed up for among other things. Get back to reality buddy.
yeah
What happens if you are so naive?
And the world will be on chaos. No real men anymore just a bunch of chubbies they call themselves lgbt
That wouldn’t happen because you take an oath to serve and protect your country. Also, if your country is kind enough to do so but another isn’t, it is destruction!
