  • THE PHILIPPINE NAVY • Four-Fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2
    THE PHILIPPINE NAVY Learning Outcomes: After the class discussion, the students are expected to: • Enumerate the mission and role of the Modern Philippine Navy • Develop an appreciation on the short history of the Philippine Navy during its infancy stage Four-fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2. Security Operations 3. Deterrence 4. National Development The Navy's Roles The modern Navy has expanded its roles beyond the initial mandate to protect the country's shores. 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. The Navy shall continue to assist in the conduct of rescue and relief operations not only during accidents _________________________________________1 at sea but even during natural calamities in land such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods. 5. The Navy shall continue assisting in national socio- economic development. 6. The Navy, as it acquires new and more potent assets, will be an effective instrument of government in fulfilling various security-related international commitments. History The Philippines had long been a seafaring nation. Early Filipino inhabitants came from across the seas - from Ancient China, Borneo and Malay Peninsula. 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.
