Four Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessels converged in the West Philippine Sea. Three 44-meter Multi-Role Response Vessels (MRRVs) rendezvoused with the BRP Teresa Magbanua at Escoda Shoal following successful resupply missions across various maritime features. These vessels, adorned with the Filipino flag, symbolize the PCG's steadfast commitment to uphold national sovereignty in the region.

"As a PCG Officer and a proud Filipino, it fills me with immense pride to witness our vessels proudly flying our flag," remarked Jay Tarriela. "They serve as a symbol of our unwavering commitment to maintain and assert our rightful position in the West Philippine Sea."

The event underscores the collective effort of the PCG in safeguarding Philippine interests, reminding all Filipinos that the defense of the West Philippine Sea is a battle for every citizen, as its wealth belongs to the Philippines.
