MANILA -- The Duterte administration is earmarking PHP3.8 billion to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) for the purchase of new ships, patrol boats, firearms, and other equipment, Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence ‘Bong’ Go said Friday.
“Mahigit 3 billion program na nakalatag. Mapupunta iyon sa mga bagong barko, patrol boats, armas at iba pang equipment (More than PHP3 billion has been set aside. It will go towards the purchase of ships, patrol boats, firearms, and other equipment),” he said in an interview.
He added that PCG Commandant Admiral Elson Hermogino would be scouting for new equipment that could be procured for the Coast Guard when he accompanies President Rodrigo R. Duterte in his official visit to Israel next week.
Go made the remark after speaking at the Coast Guard District in Southeastern Mindanao's (CGDSEM) 33rd founding anniversary in this city.
In his speech, he said the Coast Guard plays an important role in the Duterte administration’s campaign against drugs, corruption, and crime.
“Maraming salamat sa suporta n’yo. Kung di dahil sa inyo, mahihirapan ang gobyerno. Nakikiusap ako na suportahan niyo ang Pangulo sa kampanya laban sa droga, korapsyon, at kriminalidad (Thank you for your support. Without you, the government would have a hard time. I ask you to continue to support the President in his campaign against drugs, corruption, and crime),” he said.
Go added that he is honored to be inducted as a member of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA).
