The Philippine Navy (PN) formally sent on Thursday its contingent to the Rim of the Pacific (Rimpac), the world’s biggest military exercise on sea led by the United States, which will be held in Hawaii. PN officials led by Vice Admiral Adeluis Bordado led the send-off ceremony in Subic for the Navy’s Naval Task Group 80.5 aboard the BRP Antonio Luna, which will be participating in the naval exercise from June 29 to August 4. “Rimpac’s theme indicates a positive interdependent relationship among nations and the cooperative nature of managing maritime security,” Bordado said.
