From January 20 to 31, 2025, the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) provided vital capacity-building support to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) as part of Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The Mobile Cooperation Team (MCT) from the JCG delivered specialized training to PCG personnel operating two 44-meter patrol vessels. This training focused on towing and small boat operations – essential skills for effective field operations.

The JCG’s ongoing partnership with the PCG aims to bolster maritime safety and law enforcement in the Philippines. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote regional security and stability in the Indo-Pacific.
