In partnership with the UNODC - United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), and the U.S. Department of State–Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), the kick-off meeting provided a venue for the participating agencies and stakeholders to establish a common understanding of the project’s objectives, scope, implementation arrangements, responsibilities, coordination mechanisms, and succeeding activities.

During the meeting, UNODC presented the proposed implementation framework covering the design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning, and eventual handover of the facilities.

The project aims to strengthen the operational capabilities of the PCG by providing improved vessel support infrastructure for sustained maritime patrols, surveillance, and rapid response operations in Southern Palawan.

The development of the VSF is expected to enhance the PCG’s operational readiness and support the effective delivery of its mandate in maritime safety, maritime security, maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and marine environmental protection.

The successful conduct of the kick-off meeting marks an important step toward the development of modern and responsive maritime infrastructure in the area. The participating agencies reaffirmed their commitment to sustained coordination and cooperation to ensure the effective and timely implementation of the project in support of a safer, more secure, and more capable maritime sector.

The initiative further demonstrates the commitment of the PCG and its partner agencies to strengthen maritime infrastructure and operational capabilities in strategic areas of the country, ultimately contributing to improved public service and protection of the Filipino maritime community.

Aligned with the PCG’s Intensified Community Assistance, Awareness, Response, and Enforcement (iCARE) Program and the Bagong Pilipinas vision, the initiative underscores the PCG’s commitment to strengthening its capabilities and presence in strategic maritime areas while continuing to build a safer and more secure maritime environment for every Filipino.
