The recent achievement of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
(AFP) in neutralizing the members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) who are
considered high level targets of the military.
The Philippine Navy(PN)’s reported that the multi-purpose
attack craft (MPAC) used in intercepting an Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) speedboat
near Sulare Island, Parang, Sulu was not heavily damaged despite taking fire
from the terrorists
"There is an ongoing battle damage assessment of this
vessel. The initial finding shows more or less 20 bullets received by the
vessel in the recent gunfight between the ASG in the Sulu Sea. The good news is
that no one was injured (among) the crew and no equipment was damaged,"
Navy public affairs office chief, Lt. Commander Maria Christina Roxas, told the
Philippine News Agency (PNA) when asked for updates on the condition of the
MPAC, which was identified as BA-493.

The MPAC BA-493 is assigned to the PN’s 3rd Attack Boat
Division.
"Based on the position of the bullets, only one hit
below the waterline, so it means that the craft is not in critical
condition," Roxas said.
Roxas, added that the engagement off Sulare Island validates
the purpose of the MPACs in "terms of naval/ maritime patrol operations,
sea denial, fast-attack interdiction of hostile craft, insertion, and
search-and-rescue operations."
The Philippine Navy has in its inventory 12 MPACs, capable of
running speeds of 30 knots to 45 knots.
