First Lady joins Coast Guard auxiliary

MANILA – First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos has joined the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Auxiliary Executive Squadron with the rank of “Auxiliary Vice Admiral.”

During a ceremony on board the BRP Gabriela Silang in Port Area, Manila on Tuesday, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista and PCG Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, led the donning and oath-taking ceremony for the First Lady.

Gavan said the PCG Auxiliary supports the PCG in the performance of its mandates centered on “selfless service and compassion for Filipinos.”

“(The PCG Auxiliary) has always been a steadfast partner of the PCG in its mission of promoting the safety of life and property at sea, preserving the marine environment, conducting maritime search and rescue, and such other activities that enhance maritime community relations. The PCGA has provided invaluable support to our communities in times of need,” he said.

The First Lady, he said, would help strengthen the PCG Auxiliary as her presence would inspire other members of the PCG Auxiliary.

“Recently, the First Lady has participated in the rehabilitation of the Pasig River, which is in tune with the PCG’s efforts to preserve our rivers and seas. Like the PCG, the First Lady embodies the highest ideals of service, dedication, and patriotism, and does so with unmatched grace and sophistication,” he said.

During the event, Araneta-Marcos thanked the PCG for its efforts in ensuring maritime safety and maritime security, as well as upholding the country’s sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea. (PNA)
