The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is pushing for its cadets to be trained under its US counterpart, which it said will help the agency work toward ensuring maritime safety and marine environmental protection.

The PCG made the request at the 2010 National Conference of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary in Arizona, which was held from August 22 to 29. Five other countries, including the US, participated in the event.

PCG commandant Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo discussed the possibility of training opportunities for officers and enlisted personnel of the PCG with US Coast Guard (USCG) commandant Admiral Robert Papp.

Tamayo, himself a graduate of the USCG Academy, said the last time a Filipino graduated from the Academy was in 1997.
