The Philippine Navy (PN) will conduct a “passing exercise” (PASSEX) manuever with the two Russian naval vessels once they formally depart from Pier 15, Manila South Harbor on Saturday.
This was confirmed by PN spokesperson Capt. Lued Lincuna in an interview Thursday.
The PASSEX is part of the send-off ceremonies where visiting naval ships are given honors.
