U.S. Army Pfc. Desmond Dake and Philippine Air Force Airman 2nd Class Ricky Batuigas participate in a game of basketball between the U.S. Army and Philippine Air Force as part of a community relations event during Exercise Balikatan in Pagasa, Bataan, Philippines, March 27, 2019. Balikatan is an annual exercise between the U.S. and the Philippines and comes from a Tagalog phrase meaning "shoulder-to-shoulder," representing the partnership between the two countries. Humanitarian and civic assistance activities enable our service members to get to know each other and provide support to local communities. Dake, a Houston, Texas native, is a combat engineer with 561st Engineering Support Company, 84th Engineering Battalion from Schofield, Hawaii. Batuigas, a Byogan, Zamboanga, Philippines native is a masonry specialist with 355th Aviation Engineering Wing, Armed Forces of the Philippines Air Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
