These roles include: 1. The Navy shall defend the territory from external aggression. 2. The Navy shall continue its role of securing the Philippine maritime areas from all forms of intrusions and encroachment, piracy and drug trafficking. 3. The Navy shall assist other government agencies in protecting our marine resources and environment. 4.

For centuries, seafaring natives living along the coastal areas of the country have sailed across the uncharted waters of the surrounding seas in their frail little boats. The Filipino seafarers engaged in a very active trade and made regular voyages to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and the Far East.
