Coast Guard hopes to inspire kids during vessel tour

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) hopes more young people would be inspired by its work of protecting Philippine sovereignty, particularly during patrols in areas of the West Philippine Sea that usually sees hostile action, particularly with China. The agency gave a tour of the 97-meter patrol vessel BRP Teresa Magbanua on Oct. 14 to around 50 children, mostly from Tondo in Manila and from Batangas who are supported by international humanitarian group World Vision.
