------------------------------- 
The Philippine Military Academy 
------------------------------- 
 
2.  During a July 29-30 visit to the northern Luzon city of 
Baguio, EAP Assistant Secretary Christopher Hill visited the 
Philippine Military Academy (PMA), where he received Arrival 
Honors from the cadets and then met with PMA Superintendent 
Major General Leopolodo Maligalig and his staff.  Their 
command briefing stressed PMA's ten year transformation plan 
and highlighted its ongoing interest in the cross training 
opportunities of its cadets with service academies in the 
U.S.  MG Maligalig noted his attendance at the 2nd Rimland 
Pacific Superintendents Conference at the U.S. Naval Academy 
with principal delegates from Singapore, Japan, U.S., 
Indonesia, and Malaysia.  A/S Hill applauded the forward 
thinking ideas in the PMA presentation and stressed that both 
the U.S. and the Philippine militaries are transforming to 
meet new threats.  He then took a tour of the PMA and 
witnessed an impressive silent drill by the cadets on the PMA 
parade grounds. 
 
3.  In a lunchtime speech to the cadets, A/S Hill underscored 
the theme of transformation, saying that "transformation and 
change are never easy and never quick8 and stressed the 
&visionary8 nature of the Philippine Defense Reform (PDR). 
He highlighted the "Battalions of Excellence" program as one 
of the quick wins under PDR, given its emphasis on training 
battalions as a whole, instead of individuals.  He also said 
PDR should enable the military to assist with threats such as 
human and drug trafficking as well as other international 
crimes. 
 
4.  A/S Hill emphasized the need for greater cooperation 
among ASEAN nations, commenting that &ASEAN, through its 
family of institutions, notably the ASEAN Regional Forum, 
brings together partner countries and can help bring the 
militaries of these countries more closely together as 
well.8  He noted that the armies of the these nations should 
work together in dealing with natural catastrophes.  A/S Hill 
called on the cadets to help &uphold democracy8 and fully 
to embrace the concept of civilian control over the military. 
 He also urged a commitment to training and professionalism 
throughout their careers. 
 
5.  A/S Hill answered questions from the media immediately 
following the speech.  He elaborated on cooperation in 
natural disaster response, citing the difficulty in reaching 
areas hit by the tsunami last year in Indonesia.  Regarding 
North Korea, he pointed out that the &September Agreement8 
is still on the table and that North Korea needs to decide 
whether or not to join the international community. 
 
6.  Along with the Ambassador, A/S Hill participated in a 
ribbon cutting for an "American Corner" -- funded by PAS -- 
at the PMA Library.  Our recent donation of USD 13,000 worth 
of books, computers, and videos will expose cadets to a wide 
range of civilian- and military-oriented information sources 
that will contribute to their development as officers in a 
more professional Philippine military. 
 
------------------------ 
Moog Control Corporation 
------------------------ 
 
7.  A/S Hill and the Ambassador visited Moog Control 
Corporation, a U.S. company that produces flight control 
panels and other motion control devices for commercial 
aircraft, including the new Boeing 787.  Moog executives 
explained how the Baguio facility will increase Moog,s 
workforce in the Baguio area from approximately 1,000 workers 
to over 1,500 in the next five years.  They projected that 
sales revenues, currently at $50 million, will reach $100 
million by 2011.  They said Moog was very pleased with the 
quality of the workforce, which are recruited from Baguio's 
 
MANILA 00003234  002 OF 002 
 
 
seven universities and technical schools, and with the tax 
incentives that give Moog Philippines a competitive edge. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Peace Corps Volunteers and American Citizen Warders 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
8.  At a reception on July 29, A/S Hill (a former Peace Corp 
volunteer) met Baguio area Peace Corps volunteers and active, 
long-standing American Citizen Wardens.  The PCVs work in 
fields as varied as child development, education programs, 
and coastal resource management. The reception underscored 
the long-standing and dynamic people-to-people 
U.S.-Philippine ties in this northern provincial capital. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---------- 
International Broadcasting Bureau) Transmitting Station 
--------------------------------------------- ---------- 
 
9.  A/S Hill visited the International Broadcasting Bureau's 
(IBB) Transmitting Station in Poro Point, San Fernando.  This 
facility, about one hour west of Baguio City, broadcasts 
Voice of America to China, Vietnam, and other points in 
Southeast Asia across the South China Sea.  The site makes 
use of sixteen transmitters and its operating budget is 
approximately $5 million per year.  (IBB also operates a 
larger facility at Concepcion, near Tarlac, Central Luzon, 
broadcasting to China and Southeast Asia in 11 languages 
currently.) 
 
10.  A/S Hill's speech to the PMA generated widespread, 
positive media coverage with all major dailies giving front 
page coverage of the speech.  His inauguration of the 
American Corner at the PMA also was well and favorably 
covered in the press. 
 
11.  A/S Hill did not have the opportunity to clear this 
cable.
