SINGAPORE (AFP): The armed forces of the Philippines and
Singapore yesterday began their first bilateral training exercise
here under an agreement signed last week.

A ministry of defense statement said that the week-long
exercise, code-named "Anoa-Singa 2/94," followed an agreement
signed on May 5 to provide for regular military exercises between
the armed forces of the two countries.

About 800 officers and men, 600 from Singapore and 200 from
the Philippines are taking part in the exercise due to end
Wednesday. The Philippines troops arrived last Friday.
