00:00The PCG and the Office for Transportation Security have reached an agreement.

00:05We will discuss this with Commodore Algier Ricafrente, the spokesperson of the Philippine Coast Guard.

00:13Commodore Ricafrente, good afternoon to you.

00:16Good afternoon to you as well, and to all of our listeners.

00:20What are the responsibilities of the Philippine Coast Guard in the International Ship and Port Facility Security?

00:29We will help the OTS to ensure the security compliance of the ships that pass through here.

00:41We will also ensure the security personnel to comply with the requirements

00:50so that they will not be considered as one of the security guards in the port facilities.

00:56We will also verify with the recognized organizations that conduct the training,

01:03the port security training, and the personnel that are with the security personnel

01:10to ensure that their processes and training are correct.

01:16We will also ensure that the security guards receive the necessary training

01:26before they can be deployed to the ports and port facilities.

01:31How will the collaboration of the PCG and the OTS be in terms of incident reporting and investigations?

01:40If there is an incident, we will provide the information to the OTS

01:47so that they can see if it is safety or security related.

01:51If we see an incident, we will collaborate in conducting the investigation

01:59and also in responding to the incident.

02:04What is the significance of this agreement when it comes to maritime security of the Philippines?

02:11As I mentioned, as part of the SOLAS Convention,

02:17we will ensure the security of the ships that come to us,

02:23particularly the international vessels that, aside from the measures being undertaken by our ports authority,

02:30we are also there to ensure the security that when they come, we are sure that there is no threat to our port authority.

02:41And even if it is our port authority,

02:44we also need to ensure the safety of the ships that come to us

02:49so that they can continue to undertake their port of call.

02:54This is why it is very important for the collaboration of our agencies

02:59to ensure the security of the ports, facilities, and ships.

03:05What are the challenges in maritime security that this agreement will address?

03:15This includes transnational crimes.

03:20The challenges that we are seeing,

03:23because we know that our OTS is now,

03:27due to their high responsibility, they are lacking in personnel.

03:31That is why it is a very big opportunity for the Philippine Coast Guard to assist them

03:36because we are monitoring the ports,

03:41because we have personnel in the ports.

03:43We will enter those gaps to help them.

03:50Based on the memorandum of agreement that was passed,

03:52what specific trainings and capacity building initiatives are included here?

03:59One of the trainings that we can do is the maritime security training course,

04:07along with the port facility security officer's course,

04:10and the investigation and assessor's course.

04:15In other talks, what is the statement of the PCG

04:19regarding the widespread bidding issues that are being raised by the PCG senior officers?

04:27We are the ones who are being bribed

04:29because the process of bidding that we did,

04:33particularly in the purchase of 9M Impestors,

04:38is transparent.

04:41Their allegation that the bid price of the winner is overpriced,

04:49we can assure that, in fact,

04:52the bid price of the winning company is lower than the proposed budget.

04:58That is why we can see this as an advantage to our government

05:01because we had savings here

05:05because the bid price of the winning bidder is lower

05:09than the budget that we allocated.

05:14Please send a message to our fellow countrymen from the Philippine Coast Guard.

05:21This will be related to our upcoming trip

05:26because it is getting closer.

05:29We are encouraging our fellow countrymen

05:32to plan their trip well

05:37so that they won't have a hard time

05:39because we can see the influx of passengers.

05:44They can follow the announcements of the Philippine Coast Guard

05:48and other agencies of the government.

05:51Even if they bring their goods,

05:54to ensure that it is smooth,

05:55they should not bring prohibited goods

06:00or goods that need to be inspected by our authorities.

06:07Thank you very much for your time,

06:09Commodore Algea Rica Frente,

06:11the spokesperson of the Philippine Coast Guard.
