π‹πŽπŽπŠ: The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) commenced the development of Vessel Support Facilities (VSF) at Buliluyan Port, Bataraza, Palawan through a kick-off meeting held on September 3, 2026.

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.

The Revised Philippine Coast Guard Law has secured another significant milestone following its approval by the Committee on Ways and Means headed by Chairperson Congressman Miro Quimbo of the House of Representatives on September 2, 2026.

The approval brings the proposed law closer to completing the House legislative process, with the Committee on Appropriations as the next and final committee hurdle.

Another blessing for the PCG as the measure continues to advance toward a stronger legal foundation for the Service.

One Committee Closer. One Step Closer to a Stronger PCG.⁩

According to the initial investigation, the father and his daughter were traveling home aboard a carabao-drawn cart on September 1, 2026, when a strong and fast-flowing current from the upland area caused the cart to overturn, sweeping them downstream.

The father was found on September 2, 2026, while his daughter was found on September 3, 2026. Both were found along the shoreline of Botolan, Zambales.

The recovered remains were positively identified by their family and were turned over for appropriate arrangements.
