A Philippine Navy ship arrived in Busan, South Korea for maritime exercises, which other members of the Association of Southeast Nations (Asean) and allies would also participate in.
Capt. Jonathan Zata, Navy spokesman, said the BRP Andres Bonifacio (PS-17) arrived at the Busan Naval Base Pier on Saturday afternoon for the Asean Defense Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) Maritime Security Field Training Exercises 2019.
