Philippines, Vietnam hold joint coast guard exercises<br /><br />The coast guards of the Philippines and Vietnam, both claimants in a portion of the South China Sea, complete their first-ever joint exercises in Manila Bay on Aug. 9, 2024. Vietnam's 90-meter ship CSB 8002, which arrived at the port of Manila on August 5, and the Philippines' 83-metre offshore patrol vessel, BRP Gabriela Silang, simultaneously used water cannons at a smaller vessel to simulate a firefighting activity. The ships' crew also performed search and rescue exercises at a portion of the Manila Bay facing the South China Sea.<br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#philippines<br />#vietnam <br />#southchinaseadispute
