Armed Forces of the Philippines Maj. Norman Lagos, a chaplain with the 5th Infantry Division, gives opening remarks at a community appreciation event during Balikatan 23 in Suklayin, Aurora, Philippines, April 25, 2023. During Balikatan 23, U.S. service members and AFP participants visited various communities to build comradery. Balikatan, Tagalog for “shoulder-to-shoulder,” is an annual bilateral exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military. The exercise provides unique opportunities for participating forces to increase interoperability and provide tangible benefits for the people of the Philippines. Humanitarian civic assistance projects support local communities in the Philippines and strengthen our partnership. Balikatan 2023 featured three engineering projects as well as cooperative health engagements. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Sebastian Riveraaponte)
