Mayuga lauds Philippine Fleet for heroic mission

Quote:
 
Philippine Navy flag-officer-in-command Vice Admiral Mateo M. Mayuga lauded yesterday the Philippine Fleet (Philfleet) for its competence in fulfilling its role in safeguarding the country’s seas, shores and borders, with its men and women braving the perils of great waters and providing comfort during times of disasters.




Speaking before the 46th Philfleet anniversary celebration held yesterday at the Cavite Naval Base in Sangley Point, Cavite City, Mayuga acknowledged the fleet’s contributions in improving sea travel by protecting the country’s seas from intruders.

"They have patrolled, intimidated, surveilled, aided and supplied," and "the Navy works because you have dedicated your toils, and efforts in accomplishing our mission in protecting our seas and waters and the entire archipelago," he stressed to the Philfleet personnel.

Mayuga described the Philfleet as the Navy’s "cutting edge," as the Fleet embodies "our warships at sea, which through them the mission of the Navy is fulfilled."

He said the Philfleet is synonymous with the Philippine Navy itself, "not only because of its history, but because of its very vital role played in naval operations."

Mayuga noted the Philfleet is the "backbone of our naval operations" and its 4,000-strong force is strongly heading towards modernization, despite limited resources.

"We, must, however, fully optimize the use of our resources – the materiel," said Mayuga, stressing that "the Navy’s thrust is to fully enable our men to reach our fulfillment."

Anyone who comes to a counter-insurgency thinking it`s about killing terrorists is missing the boat. It`s really about winning the people. You can kill all the terrorists but then you`ve pissed people off and created 100 more.

With the current trend in the economy, i believe that the modernization will push through. They really have to modernize or augment their fleet to ensure that our economy is not hampered by any acts of crime.

Vital projects like the Malampaya and the famous beaches depend on the capability of our Navy in providing security. The country must not let its guard down against piracy, smuggling and terrorism.

For the medium term, we need to ensure our seas are safe and that the country is sorrounded by another strong "line of defense" aside from the one our Air Force provides.
