U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Kenny Griego hands out candy to kids after landing at a village during a Bilateral Air Contingent Exchange on April 27, 2018 in Cebu, Philippines. The exchange is the sixth iteration of U.S.-Philippine Air Contingent established by U.S. Pacific Command and executed by Headquarters Pacific Air Forces. These subject matter exchanges are important because they help promote interoperability, build upon the foundation of a strong U.S.-Philippine's alliance, and reaffirm U.S. commitment to the Indo-Pacific region.
