The Philippine Navy's Acero-class patrol gunboat, BRP Lolinato To-ong (PG902), successfully intercepted an oil tanker carrying a large amount of unmarked fuel worth an estimated 50.8 million pesos. On February 15th, the Navy intercepted the vessel in an area southwest of Corregidor Island, thanks to the information received by Naval Forces Southern Luzon regarding an apprehension alarm issued by the Coastguard District Palawan.
The tanker was carrying approximately 847,000 liters of undocumented diesel fuel, which could have posed a significant threat to the environment and national security. The skill and expertise of the Navy officers on board the BRP Lolinato To-ong led to the tanker being boarded and secured without incident. This successful operation is a testament to the Philippine Navy's commitment to safeguarding our waters and securing our borders. Watch this video to learn more about this inspiring feat.
