The Coast Guards of the Philippines, Japan, and the United States last week took part in the Trilateral Maritime Exercise in Kagoshima, Japan.
In Christian Maño's Sunday report on Super Radyo DzBB, the crew of BRP Teresa Magbanua (MRRV 9701) engaged in activities such as the small board operation exercise and joint search and rescue drill.
These activities aim to strengthen the interoperability of the three countries, particularly operational readiness, coordinated response, and regional cooperation in different maritime challenges.
According to the PCG, the country's participation aims to strengthen regional maritime cooperation and the reinforcement of diplomatic ties with the coast guards of other countries.
This includes the rules-based international order and collective capacity building that supports regional peace and stability. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/BM, GMA Integrated News
