As the U.S. and Philippines mark 80 years of alliance, the arrival of Philippine vessels like the BRP Miguel Malvar and BRP Gabriela Silang was met with cheers — a symbol of growing maritime unity. With China’s aggressive moves in the South China Sea — including ramming boats and deploying vessels near Scarborough Shoal — the drills aren’t just training; they’re a show of force to protect freedom of navigation and deter territorial grabs. This year’s RIMPAC isn’t just about ships — it’s about standing together in a region watching its balance shift. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
