The Acero Class Patrol Gunboats (ACPGs) BRP LOLINATO TO-ONG (PG902) and BRP GENER TINANGAG (PG903) recently conducted a crucial Maritime Patrol and Sovereignty Patrol mission around Pag-asa Island, part of the Kalayaan Island Group. 


The Philippines exercises territorial sovereignty, jurisdiction, and effective administration over this region in accordance with international law.


This operation underscores the Armed Forces of the Philippines' (AFP) unwavering commitment to the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC), aimed at safeguarding the nation's maritime interests and ensuring the security of our maritime territories.
