The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) planned to acquire two more offshore patrol vessels from France to sustain its monitoring in the West Philippine Sea, PCG commandant Admiral George Ursala said on Wednesday. | FMangosingINQ

“The Gabriela Silang is an offshore patrol vessel which is ideal for deployment in the West Philippine Sea,” said Ursala.

The PCG flagship would be deployed to the West Philippine Sea only “once we have already managed the COVID-related, disaster response tasks,” he said. “It needs other vessels to help her. That explains why we are getting two more of such type of vessels and this is from Japan,” he said.
