The Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) on Tuesday welcomed First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos to their ranks.
Mrs. Marcos joined the PCGA Executive Squadron as an Auxiliary Vice Admiral during a ceremony on board the BRP Gabriela Silang in Manila.
PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gavan lauded the First Lady for her efforts to support the Coast Guard.
“Recently, the First Lady participated in the rehabilitation of the Pasig River, which is in tune with the PCG’s efforts to preserve our rivers and seas,” Gavan said.
“Like the Philippine Coast Guard, the First Lady embodies the highest ideals of service, dedication, and patriotism, and does so with unmatched grace and sophistication,” he added.
Mrs. Marcos thanked the Coast Guard for ensuring maritime safety, security, and upholding the country’s sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea.
