Sweden supports PHL stance in WPS

SWEDEN has expressed support for the country’s position in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) and called for rules-based order in the sea.

T his was stressed by Ambassador of Sweden to the Philippines Annika Thunborg during her courtesy call to Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr. on Monday, August 14.

“ Exchanging regional security situation updates, Ambassador Thunborg noted the developments in the South China Sea [SCS]/WPS and conveyed Sweden’s support for the Philippines’ position and upholding the rules-based international order,” DND spokesperson Arsenio “Popong” Andolong said in a statement Wednesday.

E xpressing his thanks to Swedish support and other like-minded partners, Teodoro hoped for a global consensus on the 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling on the SCS and underscored the impor - tance of the Philippines’ enforcement of its sovereign rights over its exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

“ On modernizing the Armed Forces of the Philippines [AFP] to more effectively protect the country’s territorial integrity and interests in its EEZ, Secretary Teodoro emphasized that whatever defense acquisition the Philippines will pursue must be sustainable, interoperable, and supportable,” Andolong said.

I n line with this, Thunborg highlighted Sweden’s offer of its flagship multirole fighter aircraft, the Saab JAS-39 “Gripen” for the Philippine Air Force (PAF), which is now searching for a multi-role fighter to augment its fleet.

“ Recognizing the Philippines’ need for a modern PAF, Ambassador Thunborg highlighted Sweden’s offer of its flagship multirole fighter aircraft, the Saab JAS-39 ‘Gripen,’” Andolong said.

THE Philippine Air Force’s (PAF) capability to do pinpoint aerial delivery was boosted as it exchanged best practices on the so-called “low-cost, low altitude” (LCLA) airdrops with the air forces of its four closest military allies last Tuesday, August 15.

Taking part aside from the PAF are the United States Air Force, Royal Malaysian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Udara, and Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

I n line with this, an actual LCLA also took place on the same day, PAF spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said in a statement issued on Wednesday.

This activity is one of the flying training exercises of the Pacific Airlift Rally 2023 [PAR-23], which aims to expand the participants’ capability in delivering bundle cargoes for humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations, increase participating air forces’ interoperability, and improve logistics capabilities,” she added.

A n LCLA airdrop is a method of delivering supplies from an aircraft.

The term “low cost” is used since the pre-packed expendable parachutes being utilized for the airdrop are relatively cheaper.

W hile low altitude refers to the height of the aircraft during the actual drop, dropping cargo from a such altitude has been proven to be more accurate.

“ The LCLA serves as an opportunity for the PAF and other international counterparts to share knowledge and expertise on critical airdrop techniques. The exchange of best practices will help contingent air forces to improve their capabilities and be better prepared to respond to natural disasters and other humanitarian emergencies,” Castillo said. She added an LCLA capability would train PAF airlifters to quickly deliver resupply to ground operating troops and provide relief goods to areas inaccessible by land after the onslaught of calamities and disasters. PAR-23 will take place from August 14 to 18 with a total of 779 participants coming from the PAF, Philippine Army, as well as their counterparts from United States, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Canada, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Timor-Leste are set to take part in flying training, table top exercises and subject matter expert.

WHILE awaiting further instructions from the Supreme Court (SC), Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. on Tuesday said they are already working with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to prepare Taguig City’s new barangays for the upcoming barangay elections scheduled on October 30, 2023.

C ayetano also said that following the SC decision, coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd), DILG, and the Department of Health had gone smoothly.

A s the SC has yet to give instructions, Abalos said the DILG had already activated transition teams to deal with the territorial change.

tion and implementation of the memorandum of understanding concerning Cooperation in the Acquisition of Defense Materiel, which was signed between the Philippines and Sweden last June 3 in Singapore.

T he Philippine and Swedish sides noted the fruitful cooperation between the two countries and reaffirmed their common commitment to a long-term partnership.

Both sides also stressed the need to further advance defense cooperation in light of today’s challenges.

“ In anticipation of possible projects in the future, the Swedish Ambassador proposed to facilitate the exchange of information on the two countries’ differing financial systems and financing packages that Sweden could offer,” Andolong stressed.

A lso, both nations are also looking at possible cooperation or capacity-building on disaster resilience and management.

A balos noted that on May 3, 2023, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) had written to the SC requesting guidance in the implementation of the case of Makati v. Taguig, confirming the “Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation, consisting of Parcels 3 and 4, Psu-2031,” as part of Taguig City, rather than Makati City, with respect to the affected barangays.

Th is as Taguig City Mayor Maria Laarni Cayetano stressed that there is no need for a writ of execution to effect the transfer of jurisdiction of over 10 barangays from Makati City to Taguig City.

C ayetano also called the claim of Makati as “delaying tactic” and part of their “game plan.”

C ayetano said that the writ of execution is no longer needed since the coordination will be between “government to government.”

“ Their intention really is to delay and to distract us so that we could no longer focus. Look what is happening now...they are eating our time...that is really their game plan,” Cayetano said in an interview with reporters when she visited the Tibagan National High School on Tuesday afternoon.

“Comelec Chairman George Garcia and I agreed that it’s imperative to take action because there’s not much time left before the elections. We respect the Supreme Court’s definition of the cities’ territorial boundaries and are coordinating accordingly,” Abalos said.

W ith respect to the DILG’s attached agencies, Abalos added, “We’re working with the Chiefs of the Philippine National Police [PNP], Bureau of Jail Management and Penology [BJMP] and Bureau of Fire Protection [BFP] to revise the areas of responsibility and reporting lines of their affected local offices, in light of the decided boundaries.”

A balos clarified that the abovementioned actions would cover only matters of territorial supervision.

As for specific rights or obligations over affected property, these will be dealt with in accordance with the procedure provided by law. We will also respect any further court orders in this regard,” he said.

A balos said that he understood the position of mayors Cayetano and Abigail Binay of Makati on the matter.

“

My impression is that they both care deeply for their constituency. We share the same paramount consideration—the best interest of the affected people,” he said.
