Government troops fighting the Maute group in Marawi City are the priority recipients of new counterterrorism weapons and equipment turned over Monday by United States Embassy military representatives to Philippine military officials.

We will give these to our troops, priority troops in Marawi,” Marine commandant Maj. Gen. Emmanuel Salamat told reporters during the transfer ceremony at the Philippine Marine Corps headquarters in Taguig.

Officials from the Joint United States Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) turned over weapons and equipment delivered recently under the US government’s Counterterrorism Train and Equip Program. The weapons and equipment include 300 M4 Carbines, 200 Glock 21 pistols, 4 M134D Gatling-style machine guns, and 100 M203 grenade launchers delivered May 18-22 to Clark Air Base. JUSMAG also delivered 25 new Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC) with outboard motors May 30 to PMC Headquarters. The equipment are expected to enhance the PMC’s counterterrorism capabilities, and help protect Philippine Marines actively engaged in counterterrorism operations in the southern Philippines. The PMC’s Inshore Boat Battalion and Marine Special Operations Group have already employed previous US Counterterrorism Train and Equip gear in the ongoing combat operations. Since 2007, representatives from JUSMAG have delivered and programmed P7.3 billion of military equipment to the Philippine Marine Corps and other branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to enhance counterterrorism capabilities. In addition, the AFP has procured small-arms weapons, water craft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and personal protective equipment as part of the US government’s Foreign Military Sales system and other programs. Over the last five years, the US government has allocated P 15 billion of grant funding to provide the AFP with equipment, including corresponding upgrades and training. The equipment transfers and continued bilateral training and exercises demonstrate the commitment of the United States to work with the Philippines towards building safer communities and eradicating global terror networks. Salamat said the equipment were part of the long standing cooperation with their US counterpart.

We are just continuing our cooperation and engagement and this is also a product of long years of hard work. This agreement has been worked on since 2013 so its’ a product of a long cooperation even before my predecessor,

He added that they do not meddle with any political condition so their cooperation stand strong with the US or with their US counterpart.

Regardless of the administration, this support continues on to the Philippines,  — RSJ, GMA News

PH Navy promotes 3 senior officers

#PHnews: PH Navy promotes 3 senior officers

MANILA – Three senior officers of the Philippine Navy (PN) have been promoted to the next higher rank.

In a donning ceremony at the PN headquarters at Naval Station Jose Andrada, Roxas Boulevard, Manila on Monday, Naval Forces Western Mindanao commander Commodore Toribio Adaci Jr. was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral or equivalent to Major General (two-star rank).

Meanwhile 2nd Marine Brigade commander Col. Arturo Rojas was promoted to Brigadier General while Navy Offshore Combat Force (OCF) head Capt. Joe Anthony Orbe was also promoted to the rank of Commodore or equivalent of a Brigadier General (one-star rank).

In a statement Tuesday, PN chief Vice Admiral Giovanni Carlo Bacordo lauded the newly-promoted officers for embodying “the vision, maturity, and professionalism needed for Senior Officers to help the Team Navy further propel to its desired end state -- a modern and multi-capable naval defense institution that is responsive to current and emerging security challenges of our maritime nation.”

“A star on your shoulder…means excellence is also highly expected of you as you are given more responsibilities that go with your rank," he added.

Adaci is a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Makatao” Class of 1989 who has built a reputable and distinguished naval career specializing in naval operations, education and training, and personnel management and administration.

He was the former commander of the Naval Installation Command, the unit in charge of providing base and combat support services to Navy and AFP units located inside naval bases and stations all over the country.

Meanwhile, Rojas, a member of PMA “Bigkis-Lahi” Class of 1990, held various notable positions in the PN and the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC), the most recent of which was the director of Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence, and 4th Marine Brigade commander in Sulu.

Orbe, an alumnus of the PMA “Tanglaw-Diwa” Class of 1992 previously served as the Assistant Chief of Naval Staff for Operations, deputy commander of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NSSC) wherein he assisted in the development and execution of the NSSC Capacity Building Strategy before his present designation as OCF commander.

The ceremonial donning of ranks serves to recognize the milestone in the career of these three senior officers achieved through hard work and sacrifice. (PNA)

The Philippine Navy (PN) just received their first two of four Missile-armed Acero-class Fast Attack Interdiction Craft Missile (FAIC-M) Vessels while the Philippine Army (PA) quietly increased the number of Land-Based BrahMos Missiles they plan to get to at least double of what it was before

Let's look at more of the Philippines' 155 mm caliber M-71 Howitzers, these ones by the 4th Marine Brigade of the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) when they conducted at Live-Fire Exercise in Ilocos Norte recently. The Event was attended by the Vice Governor of that Province, Cecilia Araneta Marcos.

I think that these M-71s of the PMC look a little more Bad A** with their Digital Camouflage than those of the Philippine Army (PA), just my Opinion.
