AFP Spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad, emphasized that these missions are part of their sworn mandate and must continue, particularly in safeguarding the country’s maritime territory.
He added that while awaiting further directives from General Headquarters, the military will sustain patrols and maritime domain awareness activities.
