Before departing for his five-day trip to India, Marcos praised the two countries’ “steadfastness in upholding international maritime law, including the UNCLOS”, the UN treaty granting an exclusive economic zone within 200 nautical miles (370 kilometres) of a country’s shores.

The two-day exercises started on Sunday and include three Indian vessels.

India’s naval vessels, including the guided missile destroyer INS Delhi, arrived in Manila for a port visit late last week.

The Philippines deployed two frigates.

The patrol “started yesterday afternoon, then it’s ongoing up to this moment… the activity at the moment is replenishment at sea,” Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Salgado told news agency Agence France Press.

Last week, China called Manila a “troublemaker” to stir up trouble in what China deems its own territorial waters.

“China never wavers in its resolve and will to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests and will take resolute countermeasures against any provocations by the Philippine side,” Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang said in a news conference.
