The Philippine Coast Guard and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime-Global Maritime Crime Programme co-hosted the two-day Asean Coast Guard Forum Technical Expert Group Meeting in Cebu City.

We cannot solve issues without being transparent in how we deal with others,” the PCG deputy commandant for administration expressed.
