THE Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Andres Centino visited Subic Bay in Zambales over the weekend and checked three of the five Philippine Navy ships docked there.
The chief of staff boarded BRP Antonio Luna , the Navy’s missile-armed frigate which recently gained anti-submarine warfare capability through the arrival of the AW159 ASW “Wildcat” helicopter. During his “talk to the troops,” the chief of staff underscored the military’s efforts in further developing the capabilities of its naval assets as it gradually shifts its focus from internal security to territorial defense operations.
Centino commended the troops for their professionalism and dedication despite the challenges they are facing. The Marine brigade is tasked with maintaining territorial integrity and conducting peace and security operations and assisting in humanitarian assistance and disaster response in the provinces located at the edge of the country’s territory in the north.
