CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City -- As part of ongoing efforts to secure the West Philippine Sea the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) conducted a maritime patrol in Parola on June 4.
The patrol is one of a series of maritime operations being conducted from June 4 to June 7 to reinforce the country's sovereign rights over its maritime domains in the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG). These operations are part of the AFP’s commitment to maintaining a credible defense posture in the region.
While aboard BRP Andres Bonifacio (PS17), AFP personnel established direct communications with the Parola detachment to synchronize updates, assess operational conditions, and express support for the troops deployed in this remote post. The activity served to maintain clear situational awareness and ensure coordinated maritime security efforts in the area.
The AFP’s sustained presence in the KIG reaffirms the Philippines’ commitment to peace, regional stability, and a rules-based international order, assuring Filipinos of its continued vigilance in safeguarding the nation’s maritime interests.
