PUERTO PRINCESA CITY—A crack unit of the Philippine National Police-Maritime based in Bataraza, southern Palawan, uncovered on Thursday a smuggling operation of giant sea turtles believed to be bound for the Chinese seafood market, reporters here learned Friday morning.

Col. Rico Payungga, head of the PNP Maritime-Special Boat Unit (SBU) based in southern Palawan, said they have so far confiscated an estimated 50 marine turtles, most of them reportedly weighing between 50 to 70 kilos each, in Bahayan Island, a remote community which is part of Barangay  Sebaring in Palawan’s southernmost municipality of Balabac.

The PNP Maritime-SBU is a result of joint efforts of the US Embassy in Manila, the PNP and the Puerto Princesa City government in 2006 to fund a project that would develop a small maritime law enforcement unit capable of carrying out maritime surveillance and response operations.

This project includes the recruitment and training of personnel, construction of a headquarters building for the SBU in Palawan and the purchase of four patrol boats.
The SBU is based in Puerto Princesa and is deployed in southwestern Philippines in the region between Palawan and Mindanao. It coordinates with both the existing Special Boat Unit of the Indonesian Polisi Perairan as well as the Royal Malaysian Marine Police.
