Definitely, the Filipinos have learned a lot from this experience. This is a very good groundwork for our preparation towards the modernization of our armed forces. Sailors and Marines from both countries took part in community relations, civic action projects and sporting events as well. As the Americans prepared to leave the Philippines, military leaders from both countries gathered for the closing ceremony. We are thankful for the many opportunities we were afforded during our stay here.
Teamwork is the key.
