Honored to brief leaders from the U.S. Congress on our important and evolving alliance with the Philippines. Thank you, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸, for visiting the Philippines to see the strength of the 🇺🇸-🇵🇭 relationship as #FriendsPartnersAllies and #PartnersInProsperity.

The 🇺🇸 stands firmly with the 🇵🇭 in condemning the PRC for launching flares at 🇵🇭 aircraft operating legally near Scarborough and Subi Reefs Aug 19 & 22. With the 🇵🇭, we call on the PRC to cease provocative and dangerous actions that undermine a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific.

Unsafe, unlawful, and aggressive conduct by the PRC disrupted a legal 🇵🇭 mission, endangering lives — the latest in multiple dangerous actions by the PRC. We are steadfast in supporting our 🇵🇭 #FriendsPartnersAllies.

🇵🇭–🇺🇸 #USINDOPACOM Commander Adm. Samuel J. Paparo meets with Philippine President @BongbongMarcos, U.S. Embassy in the Philippines Ambassador MaryKay Carlson and other senior Philippine leaders to underscore over 70 years of combined contributions to peace and security in the region.

They discussed the growing strength of the U.S.-Philippine #Alliance, combined efforts under the Mutual Defense Treaty, challenges in the South China Sea, and progress toward achieving peaceful resolutions to territorial disputes throughout the #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific.

Honored to join U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Adm. Paparo, 🇵🇭 #FriendsPartnersAllies led by @DNDPHL Sec. Teodoro, and other countries in the region for the #MILOPS24 Conference -- upholding international law for a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific.

Thank you, Pres. @BongbongMarcos for receiving U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Adm. Paparo ahead of this year’s MDB-SEB as we strengthen 🇺🇸🇵🇭 defense and economic ties. #PartnersInProsperity #FriendsPartnersAllies

Good morning from the #CityOfPines! 🌲

The Armed Forces of the Philippines military academy prepares cadets for military service by developing qualities of leadership, military strategy, and contributions that uphold the rules-based international order that maintains peace and stability throughout the #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific.

As we mark the anniversary of the signing of the 1951 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Mutual Defense Treaty, we redouble our unwavering commitment to strengthening our ties as #FriendsPartnersAllies committed to ensuring a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific.

This year's Mutual Defense Board and Security Engagement Board led by Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command set out an ambitious agenda for our work together to further modernize and strengthen the dynamic U.S.-Philippine Alliance. #FriendsPartnersAllies 🇺🇸🤝🇵🇭

The U.S. condemns the multiple dangerous violations of international law by the PRC, including today's intentional ramming of the BRP Teresa Magbanua while it was conducting lawful operations within the 🇵🇭 EEZ. We stand with the Philippines in upholding international law.

The 🇺🇸 stands with its ally, the 🇵🇭, and condemns the dangerous and escalatory actions by the PRC against lawful 🇵🇭 maritime operations in the vicinity of Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea on Aug. 31. Read the Department of State statement: state.gov/u-s-support-fo… #FriendsPartnersAllies
