The Philippine National Police is eyeing to combine its maritime forces with that of the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Coast Guard in a bid to strengthen the government’s law enforcement arm in the country’s territorial waters.
In the past, the Philippine southern border is the usual route of international terrorists seeking refuge in the Philippines and has been the favorite route of Abu Sayyaf in its kidnapping activities in Malaysia and Indonesia. On the part of the West Philippine Sea where there are islands and rock formations that have been subject of dispute, especially with China, Azurin said the PNP is coordinating with the PCG and the Navy for the deployment.
“As the commandant of the PCG, it has been my advocacy to strengthen our partnership, coordination and collaboration with the stakeholders and other government agencies. It is our firm belief that by working together we achieve great things, that of enforcing the law and addressing lawless activities in the community and in achieving this end, we both believe that the whole is far more than the sum of its parts,” said Abu.
