The Philippine Navy and the Magsaysay Group of Companies signed a memorandum of agreement on Wednesday to enhance maritime and security training.
Navy spokesperson Captain John Percie Alcos stated that the agreement, signed by Flag Officer Command Jose Ma Ambrosio Ezpeleta and Magsaysay Group president and CEO Doris Magsaysay-Ho, will bolster Maritime Domain Awareness, implement training programs, and contribute to a more secure maritime environment.
The Magsaysay Group has long been a key player in the Philippine maritime industry, providing training and opportunities for Filipino seafarers.
“By aligning your strengths with the Philippine Navy, you are contributing to a greater cause that guarantees the security of our seas while enhancing the capabilities of our mariners and sailors. This partnership speaks volumes about your corporate citizenship and patriotism, and the importance of working together to shape a secure maritime future,” Ezpeleta said.
This collaboration reinforces the Navy’s commitment to strengthening maritime security, safeguarding the nation’s seas, and its role in national defense and regional stability. Rex Espiritu
