                    [Summary] => 


COTABATO CITY - Peace advocates have urged for "transparency" in the joint RP-US military training in Carmen, Cotabato province, accusing the Army’s 6th Infantry Division of keeping it under wraps.


Dubbed Balance Piston 07-03, the training began three weeks ago and focuses on small unit maneuver tactics, marksmanship and life-saving techniques in combat situations, and community relations.
