The Japanese government has promised to provide the Philippines with patrol vessels, newly-appointed Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. during an interview with PTV4 on November 2.

President Rodrigo R. Duterte and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on October 26 last year witnessed the signing and exchanging of notes for the Maritime Safety Capability Improvement Project for the Philippine Coast Guard Phase (MSCIP) II in which Japan will provide a loan package.

“The objective of this project is to construct two (2) patrol ships to be used by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and aims to improve the PCG’s capabilities to quickly and appropriately respond to maritime incidents, such as search and rescue, and maritime law enforcement. It is expected that this cooperation will contribute to the enhancement of the maritime safety of the Republic of Philippines,” Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

MSCIP II vessels will be heavy weather, high endurance 94-meter Multi-Role Response Vessels (MRRV).

MSCIP I which is also funded by Japan, is currently in progress.

MSCIP I will provide the PCG with 10 44-meter MRRVs. 6 units of patrol vessels built by Japan Marine United were already delivered, with the latest delivery conducted last month.

Belajar Ulang Dari Indri Lidiawati : Hari Ini Saya Baca Ulang Lebih Dari 100 Artikelnya

Tidak terasa, Hingga waktu istirahat kantor lewat, mata saya masih terpaku pada layar monitor dan jari masih menekan tuts ke tombol "older posts" di blog Juragan Cipir. Sudah lebih dari 100 halaman atau artikel yang dibaca selama itu. Untungnya artikel-artikelnya pendek-pendek, jadi saya bisa membaca banyak selama waktu istirahat yang tidak panjang itu. Memang heran karena blog Juragan Cipir, kepunyaan Mbak Indri Lidiawati sendiri sudah lama sekali tidak diupdate. Rasanya sudah hampir 6 bulan sejak artikel terakhir diterbitkan di blog tersebut. Setelah itu tidak ada lagi tulisan baru yang masuk, baik dari si empunya atau para rekan sesama blogger. Situasinya sudah agak mirip kuburan karena perlahan tapi pasti forumnya pun ikut terimbas dan tidak ada lagi percakapan tentang apapun. Padahal dulu banyak sekali tanya jawab tentang Adsense atau blog. Meskipun demikian, tetap saja saya rutin, setidaknya secara berkala datang berkunjung kesini. Saya paham bahwa tidak akan ada apapun...
