In the turnover ceremony at the PCG headquarters on Friday, PCG
Commandant Admiral Artemio Abu expressed his gratitude to the German
government represented by its Ambassador Anke Reiffenstuel and the German
Corporation for International Cooperation Country Director Immanuel Gebhardt
for the donation.
The
PCG Commandant has recognized the importance of the unmanned aerial vehicles in
the performance of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).
"More
than its contribution to maritime surveillance for drug interdiction, illegal
fishing operations, marine pollution and other nefarious activities, these UAV
can improve PCG disaster response and relief operations particularly in damage
assessment and in identifying areas where relief operations are badly needed,"
Abu said.
Abu said the UAV will also be utilized to provide
imagery for reconnaissance purposes and generate high-resolution maps that can
be used for a variety of maritime scenarios, such as rapid damage assessment of
an oil spill incident or a quick survey of an area of interest for possible
unlawful acts at sea.
"For these, the PCG and the whole Filipino
nation are truly grateful to the German government. We are looking forward to
our continued engagement and fostering a stronger partnership with our German
friends," Abu said.
