The Philippine Navy fulfills its mandate even if had less means of
doing it.
With all that is happening in the West Philippine Sea its now more
than ever we need more floating assets- ships capable and credible ones for the
brave men and women of the Philippine Navy.
The lack of help from the national government will never deter the
Armed Forces of the Philippines in fulfilling their sworn duty for flag and
country.
Over the weekend a Philippine Navy ship BRP Benguet (LS-507), commanded by Lt. Cmdr. Rolando Borromeo,
Commander of Naval Forces West (NFW),Commo. Sean Anthony Villa, led the send off ceremony for the sailors and marines at the Oyster Bay Detachment Pier.
BRP Benguet (LS-507), will transport food
and drinking water for the troops stationed in the occupied outposts of the
Philippines in the Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea.
The Philippines occupies nine (9)
islands and reefs in the disputed Kalayaan Island Group.
Civilians representatives from the Department of Energy (DOE) and Shell Philippines joined the mission to witness firsthand the condition of the troops deployed in remote islands.
“The Western Command through NFW continues to perform its mandate of protecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of country. Thus, it continuously conduct maritime patrols design to protect the maritime domain and to ensure the safety and well-being of marines and sailors stationed in these far-flung detachments,” the Philippine Navy said.
