MISSION OF THE PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD BY WILFREDO TAMAYO
ADMIRAL WILFREDO D. TAMAYO LEADING IN PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD TO ENHANCE SAR OPERATIONS
The MoA seeks to enhance cooperation among both uniformed and armed agencies in disaster response information sharing and cross-training exercises for their relative rescue personnel.
Leading in signing the MOA for their respective agencies last February were Admiral Wilfredo D. Tamayo and Director General Raul Bacalzo. The signing was attended and witnessed by other Coast Guard and National Police officers.
This signing of the MOA is in response over the pronouncement of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) that more than 20 tropical storms were expected to visit the country this year. The number of storms can possibly carry heavy and continuous rains as well as landslides around the country. Through the MoA the enhanced SAR can provide a big help for the public.
Tamayo expressed gratitude to Bacalzo for the initiative, stressing the public will unduly benefit from the cooperation as this will improve the 'capacity-building measures' of both agencies to effectively respond to emerging thought about by different natural calamities.
The ensuing effects of "climate change" which is expected to result in rising sea level and storm surges have made it imperative for government agencies to "work together, develop their interoperability and strengthen their partnership", said the Coast Guard Chief.
The PCG has been involved in various "water search and rescue cross-training" programs with other agencies. Last year, the Philippine Army units, PNP Maritime Group and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel underwent rubber boat operations training along Manila Bay near the PCG headquarters as part of water rescue and emergency evacuation procedures.
Moremore, more than 500 civil volunteers were taught disaster-response from various barangays and subdivisions Cainta, Rizal, Quezon City, Marikina City, Parañaque City and other metropolitan areas and nearby provinces, which were severely flooded by typhoon "Ondoy".
A little more than a week back, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) led by its chairman former Sen.Richard "Dick" J. Gordon also recently greeted-acquired amphibian vehicles to the PCG headquarters for joint training of PRC, PCG and the Philippine Marine Corps.

BOTH MEN AND WOMEN PADDLERS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF VICE-ADMIRAL WILFREDO D. TAMAYO.
Initially, the teams were composed of seven PDBF national athletes and organic members of the PCG who qualified during the tryouts. These national athletes became drafted in March 2007 and became members of Coast Guardman's Course (CGMC) Class 17-2008. In October 2010, six more national athletes applied for enlistment into the PCG. Satisfying all the requirements for applicants, they became members of CGMC Class 19-2010, making a total of 13 organic PCG personnel in the pool of national athletes in the PSC / POC. These PCG national athletes, together with organic PCG personnel, represent the command in various local / PDBF-sanctioned races. Together with the athletes from the other branches of service like the AFP and the PNP, the PCG represented the country in various international competitions such as the SEA Games,
The PCG is the main government agency with the mandate to protect and care for our seas and other bodies of water. As such, the team does not only provide a well-rounder sports training program overseen by national athletes, but it also offers many opportunities for outreach activities and social responsibility. Joining the PCG dragon boat team opens up opportunities for paddlers to become proactive in their concern for the sea through coastal clean ups, water rescue and lifesaving trainings, and other awareness-raising activities for the maintenance and rehabilitation of our marine and coastal seas. Paddlers for the PCG are active participants in relief efforts during natural calamities.
Training days are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, starting at 0600H, at the PCG Headquarters Slipway facility. Civilians are welcome to join the team. Contact 527 84 81 loc. 6295 or e-mail pcgssodragonboat@yahoo.com for inquiries.

TOUR OF DUTY
MISSION OF THE PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD
MISSION STATEMENT
To promote safety of life and property at sea, safeguard the marine environment and resources, enforce all applicable laws within the Philippine waters, assist in maritime security operations, conduct search and rescue, and perform other activities in support of national development.
Mission Analysis
The maior areas of government concerns under President Aquino's administration are Transformational Leadership, Economy, Government Service, Gender Equality, Peace and Order, and Environment. Through transparent and accountable leadership, the PCG will continue to make itself more relevant as a multi-mission ma service-oriented organization. A sound economy will entail an efficient, safe, secure, environmentally-responsible and seamless maritime transportation system.
Here, as a 24/7 seagoing agency, it is the inherent duty of the PCG to promote safety of life and property at sea. The unpredictable surge of weather caused by global climate change indicated the need for the PCG to further develop its capacity as the premier maritime search and res. cue agency and at the same time, as a disaster response agency in support of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) and the LGUs.
The Philippines being blessed with pristine beaches and awesome wonders of nature has become one of the prime tourist destinations in Asia. With the potential of the tourist industry to further strengthen the economy of the country, there is a need to upgrade and maintain the security and integrity of our country and its marine environment. Thus, the PCG must be adequately manned, well-equipped and prepared to address both the traditional and emerging challenges.
As champions of the environment, the PCG continues to safeguard the country's rich marine resources from threats due to maritime accidents and other irresponsible uses of seas and other navigable waterways. Through effective law enforcement and enhanced security coverage along the country's ports, harbors, and maritime destinies, the PCG will make sure that terrorism, piracy and other forms of illegal activities have no place in our waterways and shores.
Through effective and sustained coordination and interoperability with the other armed services and agencies of the government, our country will be assured that unlawful groups are provided despite haven nor refuge. This will be realized through PCG's increasing capacity for Presence, Preparedness, Partnership, Professionalism, and Passion to serve.
In the light of these contemporaneous developments, the PCG is in process of upgrading, acquiring and maintaining its modest capacity through the organizational development, material acquisition, technology upgrade bases and facility development or enhancement, human resource development, and doctrines formulation.
