WNC conducts New Year patrols in West Philippine Sea

The Philippine Navy's Western Naval Command (WNC) conducted maritime and sovereignty patrols in the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) within the West Philippine Sea (WPS) on New Year's Day.

The BRP Andres Bonifacio (PS17) vessel was involved in sustained operations across designated sectors to support personnel stationed at five naval outposts.

As part of its mission, the ship also distributed Media Noche packages to the Navy personnel stationed in the KIG.

This initiative aimed to boost the morale and welfare of deployed troops, emphasizing their well-being alongside operational readiness.

The presence of the BRP Andres Bonifacio in the WPS enhances maritime domain awareness and territorial presence, ensuring uninterrupted logistical support for forward-deployed units.

These operations contribute to maintaining a secure and stable maritime environment and reinforce the WNC's objectives for maritime security and sovereignty in the WPS.
