BRP JOSE RIZAL (FF150), HMCS OTTAWA, NRU ASTERIX, and CESSNA 353 from Naval Air Wing - Philippine Fleet carried out series of drills on September 19, 2023. They practiced various maneuvers, including DIVTACS, Replenishment at Sea (RAS) Approaches, and Photo exercises.
The interaction was highlighted by a Passing Exercise to bid farewell to the visiting vessels. The Philippine Navy extends this custom to all foreign navies during their goodwill visit as a gesture of courtesy and respect.
