• Philippines launches joint sea & air patrols with U.S. military.
• The three-day air and maritime exercise is seen as a significant initiative.

Joint patrols were launched by the Philippines and the United States in waters near Taiwan, a move likely to increase tension with China.

The three-day air and maritime exercise is seen as a significant initiative to boost interoperability between the allies.

The exercise started at Mavulis island, the Philippines’ northernmost point, located about 100 km off Taiwan, and concluded in the West Philippine Sea.

The patrols, part of increased security engagements between the Philippines and the U.S., indicate a stepped-up defense posture against China’s “aggressive activities” in the strategic waters.
