From the Mindanao Times (Apr 10): Phil-Indo exercises start today for border security
A COORDINATED patrol operation dubbed as “CORPAT PHILINDO XXXII-18” between the Philippine Navy and Republic of Indonesian Navy will start today, April 10 until the 29th to secure the border areas between the two counties from any illegal activities.
Ensign Aileen Jansor, the chief Public Affairs Office of the Naval Forces Eastern Mindanao (NFEM), said the coordinated patrol operations will also enhance the inter-operability and harmonious relationship between the two neighboring countries.
The 20-day activity kicked off with the opening ceremony in Manado, Indonesia on April 10 followed by courtesy calls, goodwill games, and dinner reception.
Likewise, part of the coordinated patrol operations are sea serials, shipboard exercises and coordinated patrol between the two navies at the border areas.
Further, the activity will also pave way for the repatriation of Filipino fishermen currently jailed in Indonesia.
The BRP Davao del Sur (LD-602) will be the primary vessel that will participate in the exercises. A send-off ceremony was conducted on April 7 at the Sasa wharf.
