00:00.119 --> 00:01.039
I'm Captain K

00:02.400 --> 00:06.230
0-17545 Philippine army . I

00:06.239 --> 00:07.949
am designated as the observer

00:07.960 --> 00:10.670
controller for the Bali in 2023

00:10.819 --> 00:13.079
particularly for the mobility , counter

00:13.090 --> 00:15.229
mobility and survivability activities

00:15.770 --> 00:19.219
during Baan as part of the

00:19.229 --> 00:22.430
Philippines , Philippine army

00:22.440 --> 00:24.930
consideration as well as preparation .

00:25.219 --> 00:27.989
We're doing this Bali as as our

00:28.000 --> 00:31.469
training ground . And then as we all

00:31.479 --> 00:33.470
know that the Philippines is still

00:33.490 --> 00:37.310
facing counter insurgency and then

00:37.319 --> 00:39.375
we are still new for the large scale

00:39.375 --> 00:41.509
combat operation . This kind of

00:41.520 --> 00:44.470
exercise helps every Philippine soldier

00:44.540 --> 00:47.569
to be more confident and to be

00:47.580 --> 00:51.240
more competitive in terms of a large

00:51.250 --> 00:54.680
scale competition . It is very

00:54.689 --> 00:57.110
important for us to improve our

00:57.119 --> 01:00.790
training readiness . Since we all know

01:00.799 --> 01:03.470
that there's a lot of threat outside

01:03.479 --> 01:06.669
the Philippines , that's why this kind

01:06.680 --> 01:10.160
of activity is a rare opportunity for

01:10.169 --> 01:13.180
us to improve . So all I can say is

01:13.190 --> 01:14.968
that thank you for this kind of

01:14.968 --> 01:18.239
training and then looking forward for

01:18.250 --> 01:21.500
the next training in coordination as

01:21.510 --> 01:23.650
well as the continuation of the Baca

01:23.970 --> 01:27.889
2023 . Bali is

01:27.900 --> 01:31.019
somewhat a camaraderie not only in the

01:31.029 --> 01:32.862
Philippines soldier , Philippine

01:32.862 --> 01:34.807
soldier setting , it is about a bi

01:34.807 --> 01:38.139
bilateral or probably a an

01:38.150 --> 01:41.930
allied activity particularly for the US

01:41.940 --> 01:44.107
Australia as well as the Philippines .

01:44.529 --> 01:48.279
Then with this , it helps everybody

01:48.290 --> 01:51.730
to appreciate what is the nation is

01:51.739 --> 01:54.029
doing . Probably the Philippine setting

01:54.040 --> 01:56.410
is doing you . It , it is a two way

01:56.419 --> 01:59.580
process in which our allied countries

01:59.589 --> 02:02.959
learn from our doctrines and , and the

02:02.970 --> 02:05.760
and the same , same way the Philippine

02:05.769 --> 02:08.580
learns also from the US as well as the

02:08.589 --> 02:11.740
Australian doctrine . So with that , it

02:11.750 --> 02:14.419
will add to our training , readiness

02:14.429 --> 02:17.000
and competitiveness as a Philippine

02:17.009 --> 02:20.600
soldier as what the saying or

02:20.610 --> 02:23.960
probably a line from a song two heads

02:23.970 --> 02:27.500
is better than one . It says that um

02:27.669 --> 02:29.970
it's about coordination , unity as well

02:29.979 --> 02:33.910
as um working hand in hand with that .

02:33.919 --> 02:36.809
Um It's more effective and efficient

02:36.899 --> 02:39.720
Filipino soldier if we have our allied

02:39.729 --> 02:43.220
with us . And aside from that , um

02:43.259 --> 02:45.592
there's a , as what I have said earlier ,

02:45.592 --> 02:48.300
it is a two way process . We learn from

02:48.309 --> 02:50.476
each other . That's the most important

02:50.476 --> 02:53.259
thing . And in addition , we respect

02:53.270 --> 02:55.270
each each other cultures . It's not

02:55.270 --> 02:58.699
about military uh part . It's also

02:58.710 --> 03:01.419
about the Philippine culture for us ,

03:01.429 --> 03:03.651
for our culture to be introduced to the

03:03.651 --> 03:06.419
whole world that we Filipinos are a

03:06.429 --> 03:09.660
good and a better soldier ,

03:10.130 --> 03:12.820
better soldier in our part since we're

03:12.830 --> 03:15.589
doing our best , even though we , we

03:15.600 --> 03:17.656
don't have all the resources that we

03:17.656 --> 03:20.949
needed . But with your help , we can

03:20.960 --> 03:22.300
say yes , we can do it
