The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Monday said it would conduct its first trilateral maritime exercise with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) in June.
In a statement, the PCG said the trilateral maritime exercise will be held at the vicinity waters off Mariveles, Bataan from June 1 to June 7.
Coast Guard personnel will demonstrate a scenario where they will encounter a suspected vessel involved in piracy, according to the PCG. The PCG said it will deploy BRP Melchora Aquino, BRP Gabriela Silang, BRP Boracay, and one 44-meter multi-role response vessel for the maritime exercise. "The US Coast Guard and Japan Coast Guard have been assisting us in our human resource development program, particularly in law enforcement training,” PCG officer-in-charge Vice Admiral Rolando Lizor Punzalan Jr. said.
