The Philippines and the United States are set to undertake the first of a series of joint exercises to counter terrorism and other global threats, Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz Jr. said yesterday. 


The joint military exercise dubbed "Kapit-Bisig" will be conducted this year under the newly signed security agreement between the US and the Philippines.


The agreement, which was forged last June, was meant to complement the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) that mainly deals with external aggressors.

ZAMBOANGA CITY — Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz said here yesterday he saw no need to request additional US troops to help the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) fight terrorism.


Cruz said a package of US financial aid was more important at this time.


"What is important to us is additional US resources to support our campaign in the soft approach to waging the fight against terrorism," Cruz told reporters during his visit here.
