President Rodrigo Roa Duterte visited the helicopter carrier JS IZUMO (DDH-183) of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Escort Flotilla One at Subic Bay Port in Olongapo City, Zambales.
The President, accompanied by Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, was received by Ambassador of Japan to the Philippines Kazuhide Ishikawa, Japan’s Special Adviser to the Prime Minister Katsuyuki Kawai, Escort Flotilla One Commander Rear Admiral Yoshihiro Goka, and members of the Japanese Navy. He conducted a shipboard tour and inspection of the helicopter carrier’s stations.
According to Mr. Kawai, President Duterte was the first head of state from a foreign country to visit the JS IZUMO. He added that his visit embodies a meaningful part on the bilateral relationship between the Philippines and Japan.
“Japan has been a very helpful friend. Our ties with Japan is historical and I know that we will be with them for all times. They can count on our gratitude for helping us, and also our friendship to fight with them,” President Duterte said.
JS IZUMO, together with a guided missile destroyer JS SAZANAMI (DDG-113), docked at the Subic Bay Port for a four-day goodwill visit to the Philippines from June 4 to June 8, 2017. According to the Naval Public Affairs Office, this four-day visit will include confidence building engagements between the JMSDF and the Philippine Navy (PN). It aims to further strengthen relationship between the PN and JMSDF, and to boost the promotion of maritime cooperation, stability and peace between Japan and the Philippines by means of naval diplomacy and friendship.

Kure was the home base of the largest battleship ever built, the Yamato.

US Ospreys show worth in Philippines aid effort
The US Marines' newest and in some quarters most controversial transport airplane is showing the world what it's got, for the sake of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, and perhaps its own future.
The MV-22 Osprey, which can tilt its rotors to fly like either a helicopter or a fixed-wing aircraft, is delivering tons of aid every day to people affected by the powerful storm that hit costal communities on 8 November.
The US mlitary's humanitarian effort presents a golden opportunity: the Marines want to show how safe and versatile the Osprey is, countering critics and helping to persuade allies to buy their own.
Anger over the decision to base the aircraft on the Japanese island of Okinawa, the only place in Asia where they are permanently deployed, has made the aircraft the poster boy of anti-military sentiment there.
Opponents cite noise problems and high-profile crashes in the early days of the Osprey, though its safety record since then has been better than any other helicopter-type aircraft.
With its unique design, the Osprey can fly faster and farther and carry heavier loads than the helicopters it replaced.
The Osprey has proven itself in battle in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that has gotten the attention of militaries around the world including in Israel.
Capt. Travis Keeney, who has been flying the Osprey says there is nothing like it in military history.
He's taken the aircraft to Iraq, Libya and Africa, but this is the biggest humanitarian mission he's ever been involved in.
He wants his aircraft to shine, and his squadron has a lot to prove.
Keeney's day delivering aid in Philippines usually goes about 12 hours, with nine or 10 in the pilot's seat and six of actual flying.
Shifts earlier in the crisis were longer, but even now he doesn't have time for breaks. He takes whatever food he needs with him on the Osprey.
The long days are tiring, and you welcome good night's rest at the end of the day. But, there is satisfaction in what you accomplish really makes it worth it and worth while.
Keeney's Osprey and five others delivering aid on Tuesday headed to a busy drop zone in Borongan on the island of Samar, with a plan to make as many runs as they could to pick up and offload supplies.
As the plane, bursting with boxes of supplies from the US Agency for International Development, got close to the disaster zone, the crew chief lowers the back ramp, turning the rear of the Osprey into a huge window onto the bright blue Gulf of Leyte and the devastated Samar coastline below.
The crew assessed the damage along the way to see what other places they should try to reach.
Borongan, the first stop, was not so badly impacted, and the drop was organised and efficient.
Local men ran to the Osprey, grab the boxes and raced back to the loading area. In 15 minutes, the Osprey was airborne again.
Lifting off in an Osprey feels much like it does in any helicopter, but when it switches to airplane mode it's much faster, zooming forward like a jet.
Guiuan, the next stop, has suffered far more damage and is much more hectic.
It was so congested with aircraft that Keeney decided to bag it and fly to the USS George Washington, a short hop offshore.
Within a half hour, the Osprey was re-fuelled and back in Guiuan, with supplies to drop off from the carrier.
From there, the Osprey flew to Tacloban, which was almost completely flattened by the storm and has become a hub for aid efforts.
The area around the runway has become a tent city populated by nongovernmental organisations, military planners, emergency workers and local people desperate for supplies or a flight out.
Helicopters buzz the skies like mosquitoes.
Keeney took off as soon as the plane got more fuel and more supplies, including 10 bags of rice.

Kumamoto Earthquake Victims Suffer in Difficult Living Conditions
Victims of last week's Kumamoto earthquakes are suffering from increased health complications as they await the construction of temporary houses in Japan.
About 120,000 victims are now living in shelters, many of which are without basic amenities such as water or electricity. The difficult living conditions in these centers is leading to a rise in the number of patients falling ill.
A total of 11 people have died from illnesses believed to be related to the physical demands caused by evacuation following the earthquakes. Economy Class Syndrome is one such condition which has hit over 20 people and resulted in three deaths.
“Economy Class Syndrome means that if people sleep in vehicles, their blood circulation would be slowed, and blood would stay in the veins of the legs and then flow into lungs fast, thus leading to blood clots, dyspnea and even the risk of death,” said Hiromichi Masuda, a doctor from the Japanese Red Cross.
“Economy Class Syndrome has been caused by the earthquake in Japan. Three people have died from that. We heard that sports are important for us to avoid getting it,” said Mito Nishi, a volunteer.
In a shelter at Mashiki Town, some 1,200 victims are residing at a site which is monitored by just 20 staffmembers. This has led to sanitation problems such as inadequate toilet cleaning and garbage handling.
“The power supply has been recovered in our area, but the water supply has not. There is no water supply even in this building. What’s more, many people cannot make sure it’s safe to go back home due to the large magnitude [of the quake],” said Lee Yamane, a staffmember at the shelter.
“I have been here for five days since last Saturday. Half of my articles at home were damaged, so my family came here. We don’t know where to live in future. However, we hope to live in temporary houses if necessary. Now we have to wait here,” said Kami Nishikawa, a victim currently residing at the shelter.
With the building of temporary houses not set to be completed within the foreseeable future, some victims may have to prepare for a prolonged period living in the shelters.
“Those people who lost their homes need to live in the makeshift houses set up by the government. However, what comes primarily is to repair roads, which should be followed by the construction of the temporary houses. Based on our experience, victims may need to live here for two or three months,” said Yamane.
