Dateline Kamuning:


The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) is closely coordinating with the Balikatan management regarding the reported interruption of the Balikatan 2023 exercise in Zambales by a civilian aircraft flying within the no-fly zone. 

The reported incident is currently under investigation, and the Balikatan management together with the CAAP are working together to identify and determine details about the concerned aircraft. CAAP has issued seven notices to airmen (NOTAMs) in the area, which has declared it a no-fly zone. 

The CAAP issues airspace restrictions through a NOTAM and ensures that pilots and aircraft operators are briefed by its Air Traffic Service (ATS) before flight plans are accepted, especially with regards to no-fly zones. 

The Balikatan exercise is the largest annual bilateral training exercise between the US and Philippine militaries. This year's Balikatan exercise is its 38th and largest iteration to date. 

CAAP would like to assure the public that it is committed to ensuring the safety of all air operations within its jurisdiction, especially in sensitive areas such as during military exercises.

Sa lima, ang gusto kung pagtuunan ng pansin ay ang "illegal recruiter." Katulad ng "drug lord" ang ‘illegal recruiter’ ay marami ng winasak na tahanan. Halimaw ito na dapat tigpasin ang ulo para hindi na makapagisip pa ng mga bagong modus na ang target biktimahin ay ang mahihina, nangangailangan at kulang sa kakayahan.
