Navies of longtime defense allies the Philippines and United States sailed together for a two-day joint naval drills in the South China Sea on Wednesday, January 3, amid China's rising tensions in the contested waters.
An analyst said the joint drills showed a strong alliance between Manila and the US necessary to improve operational integration between allies.
The Maritime Cooperative Activity until January 4 that is currently taking place in the West Philippine Sea, Manila’s name for South China Sea waters within its 200 nautical miles exclusive economic zone, was designed to support our longstanding partnership and to further advance combined capabilities in the maritime domain.

“The 2nd maritime cooperative activity marks a significant leap in our alliance and interoperability with the United States. It also demonstrates our progress in defense capabilities and development as a world-class armed force, as we carry out our mandate to protect the people and the state,”
The Philippine Navy will never be considered a World-Class armed force. They don't have the finances for the support of building a single world class vessel. I hate that simple fact because I love Filipinos, but they just will always be speed bumps to the larger navies.
