PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Philippines, Ramadan 5, 1436, Jun 22, 2015, SPA -- The Philippines will hold separate naval exercises with U.S. and Japanese forces this week on a Philippine island, Reuters reported. A Philippine military official said there was no plan for the Philippine, U.S. and Japanese navies to hold combined exercises on Palawan island, 160 km (100 miles) from the Spratlys, although the drills could intersect because Manila had limited naval assets. "At some point all three forces could merge in one activity because we only have two ships and limited aircraft to take part in these exercises," said the official, who declined to be identified. --SPA 12:44 LOCAL TIME 09:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
