The correct title is "PNP-Maritime Group". BTW, ive been seing a lot of cars using the "PNP-MG" commemorative plates almost everywhere in the streets of Metro Manila.

This is the maritime security division of the Philippine Coast Guard when they were still attached to the PN. When the PCG was transferred to DOTC, this division went to the PNP and became the PNP Maritime Group.

Hey, guys, is it not appropriate that the PNP prioritize the enhancement of the capabilities of the PNP-MG in light of the looming terror threat? The PNP can even train these guys for underwater operations just like the SWAG to demolish bombs or intercept terrorists going underwater. We've got a lot of SAF troops, i believe the PNP can easily reassign some of them to augment the Maritime Group. It is about time we enhance our maritime security. The ASG anyway have already indicated that they have undergone SCUBA diving trainings and are now out to sink ships docked at ports.

They used to have the COSAC (Constabulary Offshore Anti Crime) Units in the PC-INP then. Members undergo SCUBA training as basic skill in addition to boat handling. I believe they also cross train with the SWAG and joint train with SAF. What they need are equipments. See the rubber boat? There are many debris floating at Manila Bay, that's their problems with their Zodiacs, they get damaged. Have talked with one CO and he told me what they need are cabin cruisers types complete with pantries and CR so they could stay afloat longer at the bay. Saw some TV Mags show about them, some were effective (those in the Cavite Area), some were ???? like in Navotas. Illegal fishing pa lang yun.

Illegal fishing pa lang yun. Di naman sa sinisiraan ko ng imahe ang MG pero yan ang naiisip ng tao pag yan ang nababanggit na grupo. Mas garapal pa rin naman ang CG sa lugar kung saan malakas ang fishing activities at may Fish ports. Talamak ang corruptin sa probinsya sa pagkakaalam ko. Sa Masbate, Capiz, Ilo-ilo area. Ewan ko lang ngayun. Palagay mo? Sabit naman lagi ang CG District or office head dyan eh. Kung matinu yan ay walang maglalakas ng loob sa tauhan nag maging tiwali. I hope the higher echelons in the PNP will do something to scrape off this shameful mark on the Maritime Group and even the Coast Guard. Sana yung younger breed ng PNP-MG at CG ay matitinu na. Sana maraming PNPA products ang pumasok sa Maritime Group din.

He said the MG should be a specialized unit of good breed of PNP personel with special skills. But the practice now he said was personnel were being assigned (thrown) to his units without the basic required skill (SCUBA, etc). They have to re-train these men again. They also need men with knowledge in maintenance of their equipments.

Malaking bagay ang may mga PNPA at PMA sa MG kasi mahahatak ng moralidad at kredebilidad at standards ang mga kasamahan nya. Lalo na kung CO rin sya ng units or teams. Dapat yan ang isipin ng PNP-MG para madevelop ang integridad and kredebilidad ng grupo.

As I said in one thread the ISPS Code is implemented since July 2004. With Sec Mendoza as head of DOTC in-charge with the PCG, I think they're doing their best. And with having difficulty in means of assets, they are coordinating with other gov't agencies like the AFP, PNP, DENR-BFAR especially when it comes to security measures.
