From 25 August to 7 September, the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) provided capacity building support to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) as part of JICA’s technical cooperation.
The Mobile Cooperation Team (MCT) dispatched by the JCG provided technical guidance to the crew of PCG patrol vessels, including a 97m class patrol vessel and two 44m class patrol vessels (both Japan-provided patrol vessels), in relation to onboard boat maneuvering training and firefighting training, which are directly related to field operations.
The JCG will continue to provide capacity building support to PCG.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
