Philippine Coast Guard commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan said the Philippines is poised to become “the most powerful coast guard in Southeast Asia” in 5 to 7 years.
The admiral added that the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and Philippine Red Cross will each transfer one of their floating assets to the PCG and some members of the private sector will also follow suit. The acquisition of new vessels will boost the capability of PCG in its effort to ensure maritime security in the country, especially in the West Philippine Sea.
