22nd PH-JPN-US Maritime Cooperative Activity Concludes Successfully

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) successfully conducted the 22nd PH-JPN-US Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity (MMCA) in the West Philippine Sea from 19 to 24 October 2026.

The AFP participated with BRP Miguel Malvar (FFG6), an AW109 helicopter, a C-208B aircraft, and a search-and-rescue (SAR) aircraft, while the Philippine Coast Guard fielded BRP Gabriela Silang (OPV 8301). The USPACOM mobilized USCGC Bertholf and an MH-65 helicopter, while the JMSDF deployed JS Kirisame and an SH-60K helicopter.

Participating forces conducted Communications Exercise (COMMEX), Division Tactics (DIVTACS), Photo Exercise (PHOTOEX), Deck Landing Qualification and Vertical Replenishment (DLQ/VERTREP), Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and Search and Rescue (SAR) serials to strengthen logistics, maritime-security, and emergency-response coordination.

The successful conduct of the 22nd MMCA reaffirmed the Philippines’ commitment to strengthening maritime cooperation with Japan and the United States and promoting a free, open, and rules-based maritime environment.///

Like the proverbial drug addict, Beijing suffers from a seemingly unshakeable addiction, which is to view nation-states, whose interests differ from its own, as anything less than its sovereign equal and instead label them as pawns of other great powers.

It seems incurable.

#Opinion: By working to ensure that no #steel from #China or other countries is rerouted through its territory into the US, Mexico is turning itself into a “#gatekeeper” for the #US protectionism. What #Mexico truly needs is not to become another brick in Washington's protectionist wall, but to safeguard its economic #sovereignty, preserve its ability to connect with global markets and participate in international industrial chains.

These contraventions seem nothing compared to Beijing's blatant disrespect for UNCLOS, on which this Treaty is based, including insults against the SCS arbitral proceedings and the outcomes. The success of PRC bid for Xiamen to host the Secretariat would be an affront to UNCLOS.
