212 Squadron of CGADCV takes the lead in advancing coastal conservation through collaboration and service.

𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗖𝗚𝗔 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌿🌊🐚

The 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 officially initiated exploratory talks with the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝘅𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆 (𝗣𝗖𝗚𝗔) today, March 5, 2026, to establish collaborative efforts dedicated to 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

This landmark meeting focused on a shared commitment to mangrove conservation in Inayawan, laying the groundwork for scientific assessments and large-scale planting initiatives that bridge the gap between academic research and maritime service. Looking ahead, both organizations envision a roadmap that includes biodiversity assessments, community-driven reforestation, and long-term monitoring protocols — with plans to expand to other vulnerable coastal areas and build a model of science-backed, service-driven conservation that can inspire partnerships across the nation.

We were privileged to be joined by 𝗔𝗨𝗫 𝗟𝗧𝗦𝗚 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗼, 𝗣𝗖𝗚𝗔, and 𝗔𝗨𝗫 𝗟𝗧𝗦𝗚 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗼 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗿., 𝗣𝗖𝗚𝗔, whose insights were invaluable. By combining our biological knowledge with their coastal expertise, we hope to create a lasting impact on our mangrove forests. 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞! ✨

Happy 54th Birthday, PCGA!

We in CGAD – Central Visayas remain committed to supporting the mission and vision of the organization. Onward we go!

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 | 𝟓𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐱𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲

With a heart full of pride and gratitude, I join every Auxiliary member in celebrating the Anniversary of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Since its establishment on February 9, 1972, the PCGA has stood as a shining symbol of volunteerism in action, civilians dedicating their time, skills, and passion in faithful support of the Philippine Coast Guard. From our humble beginnings, working alongside the PCG then under the Philippine Navy with the support of maritime partners like the Manila Yacht Club, we have grown into a nationwide force committed to maritime safety, search and rescue, and the protection of our marine environment.

Today, as institutionalized under Republic Act No. 9993 or the PCG Law of 2009, our role has become even more meaningful, anchored on service, strengthened by unity, and guided by love of country.

As National Director, I am deeply honored to serve alongside selfless volunteers whose dedication goes far beyond duty, it comes from the heart. You are the living spirit of bayanihan at sea.

May we continue to sail forward together, steadfast, compassionate, and committed to safeguarding our nation’s waters for generations to come.

Happy Birthday, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary. 🇵🇭
