Tugade attends oath taking of PCG Auxiliary members in Palawan

Transportation Secretary Art Tugade witnessed the oath taking of the new members of the coastal community auxiliary division of Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) in Palawan today.

The transport chief was joined Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea during the event.

“Malaki ang papel ng PCG auxilliary sa pagtupad ng misyon at mandato ng Coast Guard sa ating bansa, partikular sa marine environmental protection, humanitarian assistance at disaster response,” Tugade said.

“Sa panunumpa ng mga bagong myembro ng PCG auxiliary, sana ay mas pagtibayin, palakasin at ipalaganap pa ninyo ang programang ito, para mas dumami pa ang ating mga kababayang mahikayat maprotektahan, alagaan at maglingkod sa ating bayan,” he added.

Tugade also expressed his salutation to the new members for rendering service for the public.

“Ngayon pa lamang ay saludo na ako sa inyo, sana ay ipamalas ninyo ang puso sa paglilingkod sa kapwa, katatagan sa anumang hamong kakaharapin ninyo at katapatan sa ating minamahal na bansang Pilipinas,” he said.
