Annual war games between the Philippines and the US began on Friday.
More than eight thousand troops are involved in the exercises, which will last for twelve days.
The exercises are focused on disaster relief training, as well as strengthening ties between the allied nations.
They also come at a time that sees the Philippines, and other countries in the region, arguing with China over ownership of islands, in the South China Sea.
Those disputes have been overshadowed by the world's issues with North Korea.
