PCG to review drone protocol in WPS
The Philippine Star
|August 17, 2025
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will review how it would operate its aerial drones to document the maritime patrol of its officers and assets, including the intrusion of Chinese ships in the West Philippine Sea.
Commodore Jay Tarriela, PCG spokesman on West Philippine Sea issues, revealed the PCG failed to fly drones when the China Coast Guard's (CCG) patrol ship 3104 crashed onto the People's Liberation Army (PLA)-Navy warship 164 last Aug. 11.
The two Chinese ships were trying to pursue and drive away the PCG's 44-meter patrol vessel BRP Suluan when they collided. The Chinese vessels were estimated to be sailing at a speed between 22 and 25 knots.
