U.S. Navy Cmdr. Jack L. Carver shows two young Filipino children games on his cell phone during a community relation’s event April 15 at Duyan Ni Maria Children’s Home in Angeles City, Philippines. Both Philippine and U.S. service members visited the home to play with the children as well as drop off donations of toys, sport equipment and school supplies. “We wanted to extend our appreciation to the Philippine military and civilian population,” said Carver. “They have been so welcoming during out stay, and we wanted to do something for them.” The service members are currently participating in Balikatan 13, an annual bilateral exercise, which provides a venue for Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military forces to develop and continue to enhance interoperability across a wide range of military capabilities.
