MORALE & WELFAREMORALE & WELFARE

by: Office of the Naval Chief Chaplain

The Philippine Navy (PN) envisions to become a “God-centered and morally upright by 2020 and beyond.” The Naval Chief Chaplain, Col. Melchor S. Fernando shares the same vision. He propels the PN Chaplains in attaining the same goal. Thus, the birth of character enhancement program in the Philippine Navy. From one unit to another, the Naval Chief Chaplain tirelessly leads the conduct of Philippine Navy Character Enhancement Program (PNCEP). He must have seen the need and importance of a moral compass in the life of every sailor and marines.

With our minds fixed on the goal, the Office of The Naval Chief Chaplain (OTNCC) shares the Ten Commandments for Soldiers. May these become the moral compass for the Philippine Navy to follow:

I AM THE LORD, YOUR GOD. THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BESIDES ME.

Do not pretend to be God and do not consider yourself omniscient or omnipotent. Listen to your conscience and your comrades/ subordinates/ superiors. Be critical of the zeitgeist and orient yourself to lasting values.

1

THOU SHALT NOT DISHONOR THE NAME OF GOD.

Do not abuse God and the religious symbols for promotional purposes. Do not speak of the highest values if you do not act accordingly. Do not hide your military mission behind high moral standards.

2

THOU SHALL SANCTIFY THE DAY OF THE LORD.

As far as the assignment allows, keep Sunday free as a time for recreation, thanksgiving, and family life. Respect the religious claims of your comrades. Make sure to rest and reflect in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

3

THOU SHOULD HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.

Take care of fathers and mothers who work for the next generation and thus secure the future. As a superior, promote the use of older comrades, just as you give younger soldiers a chance.

4

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

By the use of firearms as a soldier you do not act arbitrarily and out of greed. As long as you follow the laws of war, you are the tool of state authority. Your actions are legal and not morally reprehensible.

Those too who devote themselves to the military service of their country should regard themselves as the agents of security and freedom of peoples. As long as they fulfil this role properly, they are making a genuine contribution to the establishment of peace. (Vatican II- GS 79)

5

THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.

Do not be “married” to the service of the gun that your family suffers. Even with prolonged absence from the family through foreign missions and exercises again possible lure. Consider the fiduciary duty to your family.

6

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

Pay attention to the spiritual and material property of others. Do not deny them of the opportunity to perform better. Do not let yourself be corrupted by benefits that are not based on your performance and do not tempt others. Be faithful in small as in big things. Do not write the achievements of others on your flag, but also look forward to their recognition.

7

THOU SHALT NOT SAY FALSE THINGS TO THY NEIGHBOR.

Ignore the untruthful statements about comrades and superiors. Do not promise more than you can hold and stand by your decisions and the possible negative consequences. Stay credible and predictable.

8

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S WIFE.

Never act merely for sympathy. Never promote inferiors just because you have a preference for them. Do not exploit your supremacy and opportunities, where soldiers serve far from the family, to sexually harass and abuse comrades.

9

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S GOODS.

Restrain your desire. Keep your selfishness in check. Avoid the vices of envy and greed. Rejoice that others succeed and show it to them.

10

In closing, may our strong faith in the Lord Jesus guide our feet into the way of peace.

“Beliefs are our foundation and our guiding compass, navigating us through life”

- Kim Ha Campbell, Inner Peace Outer Abundance

Navy deploys 2 ships to help repatriate Filipinos in Middle East

6 PHILIPPINE NAVY

Landing dock (LD) 602 is one of the largest vessels of the PN while PS16 has the modern capability to help provide needed security. The PN contingent is expected to reach Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 25 days, with lay over in Sri Lanka for refueling and replenishment.

The deployment of the naval task force is in support to the AFP Joint Task Force “Pagpauli” mission in the Middle East and in line with the interagency undertaking Oplan Pagbabalik which primary objective is to save lives and ensure the safety of OFWs in Iran, Iraq and other areas in the Middle East through repatriation.

LD602 and PS16 will serve as sea-based platforms that can provide decent accommodation and necessities for OFWs displaced by the looming conflict in the Middle East. This deployment of PN personnel and assets manifests an advancing navy that is now capable to provide humanitarian assistance for our fellow Filipinos wherever they are in the world.▪

The Philippine Navy (PN) held a send-off ceremony at Pier 13, South Harbor, Manila on Jan. 14 for BRP Davao Del Sur (LD602) and BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PS16) with an onboard naval helicopter, departing for the Middle East to help in the repatriation of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) there as tensions particularly in Iran remain imminent.

Philippine President and AFP Commander-In-Chief, Rodrigo Duterte oversaw the deployment of Naval Task Force (NTF) 82.1 comprises of around 400 sailors and marines headed by its commander, Colonel Noel D Beleran. The President was joined by the Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana and Navy Chief Vice Adm. Robert Empedrad.

In his remarks, the President informed the contingent that this mission is to safeguard the lives of the Filipino people. He said, “I tasked you this duty with the prayer and with the hope that you carry out the mission successfully and that everybody will be saved.”

PH Navy deploys rescue teams as Taal Volcano’s Alert Level 4 remains

The Philippine Navy (PN) has deployed its Disaster Risk Reduction Teams (DRRT) within Manila-Cavite area to help the affected communities of the disaster brought by the Taal Volcano eruptive activity.

PN deployed its DRRTs in Batangas area to aid thousands of Filipinos affected by the Taal Volcano eruption. There are 32 DRRTs from Manila – Cavite area that are tasked by the headquarters to utilize all available assets for the relief operations to the affected families of this calamity.

The alert level 4 was raised in Taal Volcano by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) following its phreatic

eruption last Jan. 12. This alert means that “hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days.”

Eleven Batangas towns are now under total lockdown, as of writing, due to the dangerous effect of the on-going Taal eruptive activity, prompting thousands of the population to flee their homes.

The Philippine Navy is always ready to provide personnel and mobilize its assets to assist our fellow Filipinos affected by this calamity. This quick disaster response is in line with the PN’s commitment to provide rapid assistance to our disaster-stricken countrymen in order to alleviate them from their current ordeals.▪

liters gallon of water, 190 sacks of rice (50 kg), 180 boxes of canned goods, 80 boxes instant noodles, 10 boxes of assorted medicines and 800 gallons (3 liters) of water.

The Civil Military Operations Group-PN (CMOG-PN) in col-laboration with Naval Reserved Command (NRC) through Naval Forces Reserve-National Capital Region (NFR-NCR), Naval Reserve Center-National Capital Region (NRCen-NCR) and Naval Reserve Center-Southern Luzon (NRCen-SL) worked hand-in-hand to assist ADMU in delivering the said relief goods to Lipa Archdiocesan Social Action Center (LASAC) Inc.

The Philippine Navy (PN) decommissioned two of its legacy ships and aircraft in Sangley Point, Cavite City on Jan. 29, after years of their invaluable service to the PN and the Filipino people in a joint ceremony presided by the Flag Officer In Command, PN, Vice Adm. Robert A. Empedrad.

The PN retired BRP Rizal (PS74), BRP Nicolas Mahusay (PC119) and deactivated PN Islander (NV304).

BRP Rizal became part of the Navy when it was turned over to the Republic of the Philippines and subsequently commissioned on June 12, 1965 in Seattle, Washington, USA as RPS Rizal (PS69).

With its 54 years as commissioned ship in the PN, PS74 has been deployed to the different Naval Task Force areas of responsibility and accomplished multifarious missions and earned its numerous awards and commendations from the Operational Commanders. Noteworthy of which were the awards as “Naval Operating Force” in 1970, “Ship of the Year” and “Anti-Submarine Force Ship of the

Year” in 1971.

Similar to PS74, BRP Nicolas Mahusay has mostly devoted its service by steadfastly patrolling our islands from internal and external threats. Furthermore, PC119 once served as the flagship of the famous anti-terrorist Task Group Stingray whose mission was to deter and neutralize terrorism in coastal areas and deny the use of the sea lanes as area of operation. Its spotless record also showed the extraordinary commitment of the generation of skippers and men as they achieve milestones for the PN.

Meanwhile, NV304 was honored in return for all the successful flight missions it undertook for 43 solid years in the Philippine Naval Aviation history, listing so many significant accomplishments, and surveillance and mission patrol. NV304 also proved to be an astounding defender of the country’s airspace and islands where it became the Navy’s eye in the sky.

NFNL conducts search and rescue operations for 7 missing fishermen

The Naval Forces Northern Luzon (NFNL) continues its search for seven fishermen reported missing in the wa-ters off Pangasinan since Jan. 14.

Initial reports revealed the missing fishermen were aboard fishing vessels Narem 2 when it ventured out to sea on Jan. 6, however, they failed to re-turn in Infanta, Pangasinan on their return date, Jan. 14, as reported by the owner of said fishing banca, Christine Macaraig. The boat’s crew are identi-fied as Captain Alberto Roldan, Rod-erick Montemayor, Homar Maglantay, Ejay Dela Cruz, Jerome Maglantay, Larry Legaspi, and Jefferson Bernabe.

Macaraig claimed she was able to reach FB Narem 2 through radio com-munication last Jan. 13. She was in-formed that the crew encountered big waves. However, she has not been able to receive any further information on their situation or whereabouts since then.

The boat’s last reported location was at 60 nautical miles off Camaso Island in Dasol, Pangasinan.

Empedrad, narrating the remarkable feats these ships and aircraft has done for the Navy said, “BRP Rizal (PS74), BRP Nicolas Mahusay (PC119), and NV304 have completed decades of dedicated service since their inclusion in the Navy’s inventory but we shall draw inspiration once again from their long list of accomplishments being once brave and courageous protectors or seas, coasts and boundaries.”

The decommissioning and deactivation ceremony is part of the Phase-in, Phase-out Program of the PN which is vital for the PN’s vision of stronger, more credible modern Navy. The Navy is retiring these existing ships and aircraft to pave the way for

the arrival of new ones. Today may have been the last day that they serve our maritime nation, but they will remain an epitome of loyal service to our maritime nation.▪

He also coordinated with the members of TF Karagatan, the PNP Maritime Region 1, Coast Guard Dis-trict North Western Luzon (PCG) and BFAR Region 1 to lend assistance in the operations.

From Jan. 17 to 20, NFNL contin-uously conducted their search in the West Philippine Sea but to no avail.

On Jan. 21, two Navy ships, the PC388 and PB322, stationed at Sual fish

port in Sual, Pangasinan were deployed to search the coast of Pangasinan to Ilo-cos Sur. However, the operation was terminated 7 p.m. due to unfavourable sea condition. The operation was also temporarily stopped for the safety of the searching team but is set to contin-ue once the weather improve.

NFNL also coordinated with local fishermen in the area to report imme-diately to any local authorities if they locate signs of the missing fishermen.

“We will not stop giving assis-tance, sending our naval assets to lo-cate the missing fishermen,” assured Commodore Valencia.▪

Marines, Air Force seize 500 drums of smuggled fuel off Tawi-Tawi

by: Naval Forces Western Mindanao PAO

Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) conducted led to the apprehen-sion of M/L Arnalyn 2 loaded with 500 drums of smuggled fuel on Jan. 21 in Brgy. Paggasinan, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi.

At about 11:30 p.m. on said date,

joint operating elements from the Phil-ippine Marine Corps and Philippine Air Force apprehended M/L Arnalyn 2 in Tawi-Tawi and was able to confis-cate more or less 500 drums of alleged smuggled fuel products and assorted goods.

M/L Arnalyn 2 was apprehended

after its crew failed to present proper documentation for the fuel. The smug-gled fuel, which originated in Sabah, Malaysia, has an estimated market

value of P11.3 million. M/L Arnalyn 2 with its crew identified as Zalde Cap, Akmad Amil, Almujil Sajirin, Bundol Bakal, Zalde Ajan and Ameer Kaidal Abduhasan were r escorted to Bongao Pier for proper documentation and disposition.

The successful foiling of the alleged

illegal transport of smuggled fuel was a result of an intensified and focused maritime patrol and operation of the Philippine Navy in collaboration with other partner agencies. With this, the Philippine Navy through the Naval Forces Western Mindanao with its op-erating units will continue to remain vigilant in the conduct of its mandated task to deter any unlawful activities in its area of operations.▪

counterparts from SLN Western Naval Area (WNA). The party then paid courtesy to the WNA commander, Rear Adm. Sumith Ananda Weerasinghe.

This visit was an-other milestone for the Philippines-Sri Lanka relations that was estab-lished in 1961 and re-cently being sustained and enhanced by naval diplomacy. It can be re-called that SLN ship P626 made its first-time goodwill visit to Manila in April 2019.

With regard to modernization ef-forts, the PN expressed interest in the submarine program of the Spanish Navy. This will help the Command as it pursue its submarine acquisition as part of its modernization program.

The Sinulog Festival is one of the most anticipated and celebrated festivals on the Philippine calendar, enticing not just the Sugbuanon community but as well as local and foreign visitors. The festivity –held every third Sunday of January, flaunts choreographed danc-es, colorful costumes, and creative floats but, the center of it all, is the cel-ebration of the country’s most famous historic relics: the miraculous image of the Balaang Bata “Señor Santo Niño de Cebu”.

Prior to this grand celebration, a series of religious activities took place from Jan. 09 to 24. One of these was the traditional fluvial parade where hundreds of devotees braves the rotat-ing waves of Mactan Channel to show their devotion by accompanying the miraculous image of the Sto. Niño de

Cebu in his short voyage.

For this year’s fluvial procession, Naval Forces Central (NFC) once again took a significant role by providing ac-cess to Captain Veloso Pier as staging area for LCT Camomot of Mandaue Shipping Lines which was used as the ceremonial “galleon” of the miracu-lous image. Moreover, the activation of Naval Task Group (NTG) SINULOG 2020 jibed with the 9th Leg of Visay-an Patrol Mission provided maritime security during the fluvial procession in coordination with Coast Guard Dis-trict Central Visayas which resulted to zero accidents or mishaps at sea. Like-wise, NAVSOU5 Seal, Boat and Dive Teams with one Rigid Inflatable Boat and two rubber boats performed as sweepers to prevent small crafts/ves-sels/boats from getting near the gal-

leon. Sealift/ferry mission accommo-dated and ferried devotees, pilgrims and well-wishers while conducting MARSEC and securing the “Tradition-al Galleon” of Sto. Niño de Cebu. The vessels that were utilized on the said activity were: BRP Batak (LC299), BRP Ivatan (LC298), BRP Tagbanua (LC296), BRP Alfredo Peckson (PC372), BRP Salvador Abcede (PC114), and 2 patrol boats PB349 and PB341 that catered more than 1,220 devotees and tourists.

The Sinulog Grand Parade known as “Sinulog Grand Mardi Gras” was held the following day which was the acme of the festival characterized by a pageantry of colorful religious and secular articles, lively street dance, gi-ant floats, and motorcades with media personality onboard paraded around the City of Cebu. This year’s en grande celebration was graced for the first time by the president himself, Pres-ident Rodrigo Roa Duterte, together with Presidential Assistant for the Vi-sayas Michael Lloyd Dino and Senator Bong Go at Cebu City Sports Complex Grandstand.

NFC actively supported the grand parade by providing personnel as crowd control. The parade Naval Task Unit Grand Parade deployed 148 re-servists from the Naval Reserve Center Eastern Visayas and 31 NFC organic personnel to augment as crowd control

– deflecting the heat of the blaring sun just to ensure the safety and security of the thousands of devotees who wished to witness, and untiringly dance to the beat of the Sinulog fever, contributed to the peaceful and successful conduct of Sinulog 2020 Grand Parade.

It is one of the strongest operational commands of the Philippine Navy with a highly re-sponsive and potent force in protect-ing the maritime interests in Eastern Mindanao. It was established over two decades ago and developed from modest to many complex roles per-formed. NFEM never cease to accom-plish its endeavors towards protecting the eastern seaboard considering the Philippine archipelago is located at the crossroads of Asia-Pacific with two of the international navigational routes within the area of responsibility name-ly; Surigao Strait-Balabac Strait and Balut Channel with thousands of local and international vessels that traverse these waters, making it highly vulner-able to foreign intrusions and external threats.

PRESERVING MARITIME INTERESTS

For this year, the Command suc-cessfully hosted two major Interna-tional International Defense and Se-curity Engagement (IDSE) between Philippine Navy through Naval Forc-es Eastern Mindanao and Indonesian Navy including the conduct of COR-PAT PHILINDO XXX-19 last May to July which resulted to the return of ten Filipino repatriates who were de-tained at Manado, Indonesia, and First Maritime Training Activity dubbed as PHILINDO 01/19 which conducted last Nov. 25 to 29, 2019 within NFEM area of responsibility. These activities en-hanced the maritime interoperability of both countries in law enforcement at sea, HADR operations, and protection of citizens crossing the borders while fostering harmonious relationships and building linkages together with the Philippine Navy as vanguards of the seas.

CURTAIL ILLEGAL ELEMENTS IN EASTERN MINDANAO

To support the Eastern Mindanao Command's mission in eradicating il-legal activities in area of responsibility, NFEM accomplished more or less 598 surface patrol missions under Internal Security Operations which resulted to the following: confiscation of three fishing vessels and variety of fishing

gears and paraphernalia with an esti-mated market value of Php 6,700,00.00 and apprehension of one Motor Banca with 23 crew including two Indonesian Nationals who was involved in smug-gling of 80 game fowls at Sarangani Bay with an estimated market value of P500,000. Moreover, NFEM contin-uously supports the anti-illegal drug campaign of the current administra-tion wherein the command conduct-ed joint operations in Davao Oriental together with PDEA RO XI and Mati City Police Station which resulted to the apprehension of 9 individuals for the possession of illegal drugs and confiscated large sachets of suspected shabu and Drugs paraphernalia with an Estimated Market Value of P6.5 million. NFEM also facilitated the sur-render of eight former NPA members, who then became contributory in in-fluencing other members to return to the folds of the law.

BRISK RESPONSE FOR ANY DISASTERSThe Philippines is highly vulnera-

ble to the impacts of climate change, including increased frequency of ex-treme weather events, rising tempera-tures, and extreme rainfall. Hence, several flash floods and landslides happened within this year due to strong typhoons. With this, the Com-mand set its goal to conduct disaster response operations in the quickest way possible. NFEM rescued 43 res-

idents in Barangay Anibongan, Car-men, Davao del Norte on Jan. 27 to 28, 2019 and 282 residents of Barangay Talomo and Bangkal including infants, children, elderly and pregnant women last Aug. 28, 2019, both were victims of flash flood due to the heavy downpour brought by the tail-end of cold front. NFEM together with the Philippine Coast Guard also rescued 317 passen-gers aboard M/V Ferries 8 bound for Bohol who went aground at the waters of Nasipit, Agusan del Norte last April 2019. Meanwhile, Mindanao, particu-larly in the North Cotabato area, suf-fered consecutive strong and shallow earthquakes within October 2019 that destroyed many buildings, houses and even schools in the said area. Thus, NFEM delivered laminated sacks for shelter and relief goods donated by the different units of Philippine Navy and stakeholders to the residents of Mag-pet, North Cotabato last Nov. 13 and 17, 2019.

COMPLETING THE TRIAD WITH CMOAs a partner in sustaining commu-

nity-building, NFEM endeavors and advocates a more sense of "social re-sponsibility". Thus, 22 Public schools mostly situated in the far-flung ar-eas benefited in the Brigada Eskwe-la 2019 with a theme of "Matatag na Bayan Para sa Maunlad na Paaralan". Moreover, the Command rendered four Basic Health Services through the Medical Civic Action Program


(MEDCAP) and Dental Civic Action Program (DENCAP), which catered a total of 1,364 beneficiaries. Engineer-ing Civic Action Program (ENCAP) was also broadened through the re-pair of Madrassah, an Islamic school in barangay Tibungco, Davao City, repair of Nipa Hut in House of Hope Foundation, Bajada, Davao City and facilitated the maintenance of Housing Project at Bongaitan, Bislig City. Team NFEM successfully conducted seven Tree Planting Activity with a total of 2,350 seedlings planted and deployed eight artificial coral reefs at the waters of Samal Island and Davao City. Like-wise, the Command participated in the conduct of Coastal Clean-Up activity in five local communities including Barangay Panacan, Tibungco, Matina Pangi Davao City, Balet, Samal Island, and San Isidro, Davao Oriental.

In general, the significant accom-plishments of Naval Forces Eastern Mindanao show the eagerness to re-

main steadfast in continuing to per-form its mandated tasks and missions especially in securing the maritime en-vironment of the AOR as the sea senti-nel of Eastern Mindanao.▪

The Battle of Legazpi Pylon was ac-claimed by the National Historical Institute of the Philippines in 2001 as one of the National Historical Sites in the Philippines. It is a tribute to the battle of the Albayanos against the American invaders in 1900.

As written in a small tablet below the memorial, on the 23rd of January 1900, in the City of Legazpi, the Filipi-nos bravely fought the American Sol-diers of the third battalion of the 47th infantry, which was headed by Brig. Gen. William A. Kobie. There were approximately 800 Filipino farmers that were led by Commander Anto-nio Reyes.

The bombing of the defensive trench that were being defended by the Filipinos at the coast of Legazpi was the reason why they were forced to retreat to the then St. Rafael bridge. At the bridge, they fought with all their might against Ameri-cans who were seeking control. However, the defenders died during the conflict.

As depicted in the Pylon, the Filipinos fought only with spears and bolos against their powerful opponents who used modern ar-maments. Although the former’s weapons were no match against the latter’s, they still fought with unwav-ering courage in their hearts to defend their country, their home, their freedom and ours. They fought with their enemies head-on, nev-er caring what might happen, all they cared about is that they stood their ground. The Filipi-nos who fought during

Commo. Jose Ma. Ambrosio Q. Ezpe-leta and the Mayor of Legazpi City, Hon. Noel E. Rosal together with the guest of honor PNP PBGen Anthony S. Alcaneses joined in the commem-oration of the event. During the cere-mony, a wreath was laid at the histor-ical Pylon as a tribute to the bravery of the Filipinos in the said battle. The ceremony has also been attended by

various other sectors who paid their gratitude to the fallen soldiers. Sever-al surviving war veterans were also present and were given equal praise. Students who didn’t want to miss the memorable event also came.

There are a lot to be learned in re-membering the past and honoring it. The act of bravery of our fellow Filipi-nos encourages us to do better and to have the same unwavering courage in

the defense of our country especially in times of great need. The past, al-though long gone, teaches us lessons that should be applied today.

One should bear in mind that these people would have died for nothing if we do not appreciate the freedom that they fought so hard to achieve. If we will be consumed in today’s fad, we will forget the true es-sence of being a Filipino.▪

The Philippine Navy is now operating in an increasingly network-based world. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is changing the way hu-mans interact with each other and their environment, including the way naval operations is done.

Command and Control, Communica-tion, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) System information structure.

A CHANGE the Navy chose to take

SAIL PLAN CORNER

Whether in our personal or professional life, change is inevitable. Yet, change is necessary when one aspires for progress. It is like gambling from what is unknown, from what is unfamiliar, and from the uncertain.

It is true that many have resisted change – some find it difficult to break from their routines, while others find it futile to create plans. But the Philippine Navy (PN) chose otherwise. The Navy opted for change because it wanted to see a progressive and more dynamic organization. How did it manage its own organizational complexity to be able to adapt to change? It is through the implementation of the PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020—the PN’s roadmap in attaining its long term goals.

The PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020 created an ideal framework as to how the Navy will sail across its six-year commitment. But the question is how can these plans and changes be felt by each and every personnel across all ranks?

When I entered the service as a Civilian Human Resource a few years back, I thought the PN is also the stereotypical government office—one that has a highly bureaucratic and tedious yet slow-moving system. I was proven wrong, though. In my first unit assignment at the Naval Research and Technology Development Center (NRTDC), I was able to witness how the PN plans and aspires to become at par with neighboring countries through research, development, and acquisition. Working for NRTDC allowed me to work alongside several teams who craft research studies, technical assessments, strategies, and other related communications concerning modernization. I was exposed to various engagements among public, private, local, and foreign entities about naval acquisitions and development. I met naval officers whose personal visions for the improvement of the Navy are so profound. All these projects, including small units, contribute to the overall goal of the Navy in

the procurement of se-cured HF Base/ Man-pack and VHF Hand-held Tactical Radios for use of battalions and maneuver commands among squad and fire teams to facilitate unit internal coordi-nation for combat, combat support and combat service support activities. The project further aims to fill up lacking radio communication for information assurance support of Fleet and Marine Assets

CYBER DEFENSE EXERCISE (CyDeX 2019-3)

The Philippine Navy through the Naval Information Communication Technology Center(NICTC) conducted the Cyber Defense Exercise dubbed as the CyDeX 2019-3 on 15 to 26 July 2019 at Philippine Navy Officers Clubhouse, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. The activi-ty simulated possible human (hackers) actions inside the PN Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) and the actions and counter – actions of the PN to protect data and communica-tions flow within the network.

The event were participated com-ing from the CEIS Family of Philippine Navy, Philippine Air Force, Philippine Army, AFP Cyber Group, Philippine Coast Guard, local government agen-cies such as Department of Informa-tion and Communication Technolo-gy, Department of Interior and Local Government, National Security Coun-cil, National Privacy Commission, Philippine Statistics Authority , Civic Aviation Authority of the Philippines and other local ICT Partners.▪


becoming strong and credible.

My perspective about the Sail Plan became more grounded after being assigned at the Naval Sea Systems Command’s Office of the Assistant Chief of Systems Staff for Plans and Programs, SSC-5 where one of my tasks is to handle Sail Plan-related documents. I slowly found myself getting more and more enthusiastic and involved in the management and execution of the said plan. Aside from the trainings I had, part of my job is to monitor the Sail Plan management and implementation of NSSC units where I had a better avenue to grasp the involvement of every personnel and unit to the accomplishment of the Command, rather than just seeing the big picture.

I realized then what the Sail Plan has done for the Navy. One of the most apparent breakthroughs I have is its influence on the processes embedded within the organization. Through the strategy map, objectives, and initiatives laid down in the Sail Plan, processes and systems became institutionalized. Simply put, it created a distinct paradigm that guides every PN personnel—whether officer, enlisted personnel,

or civilian human resource—in doing their respective tasks and thereby accomplishing a specific goal in a pre-defined timeline. I saw how the Navy endeavors to polish its doctrines and policies for future acquisitions; how the organization plans to capacitate their people; and how they seek to expand their materiel.

The Sail Plan reflects a process-driven approach rather than leadership-based one. In effect, there is continuity in the management. With the identified objectives and initiatives for a certain period of time, PN leadership, regardless of who’s in charge, stays on course instead of changing initiatives the way they deem it to be.

Though there are still more to improve in the organization, the change that the PN chose to take has valuable accomplishments that reflect its commitment to its internal and external stakeholders.

My service in the Navy is not long enough, I must say, to speak for big accomplishments, yet I can say that I have seen transformation in simple and little things, which I think huge success starts from.▪
