Two brand new fast attack interdiction craft-missile (FAIC-M) of the Philippine Navy (PN) were formally commissioned into service on Monday, November 28.
BRP Nestor Acero (PG-901) and BRP Lolinato To-Ong (PG-902) will be used to boost the Navy’s patrol operations in the southern part of the country as well as the West Philippine Sea (WPS). The tension-filled waters became the center of controversy last week after the China Coast Guard (CG) seized from PN personnel a piece of metal near Pagasa (Thitu) Island.
