MANILA\u2014The Philippine Navy (PN) will be greeting its 119th founding anniversary Wednesday with a brand-new strategic sealift vessel and three multi-purpose assault craft with missile provisions.<\/p>\n

This was bared by PN spokesperson Capt. Lued Lincuna in a message Tuesday who added that this year’s anniversary will be held in Sasa Wharf, Davao City with President Rodrigo Duterte as the guest-of-honor and speaker.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the event is the commissioning of the country’s SSV, the BRP Davao Del Sur (LD-602) and capability demonstration of the three MPACs with missile armament provisions.<\/p>\n

BRP Davao Del Sur left the PT PAL (Persero) shipyard in Surabaya, Indonesia and arrived in the Philippines last May 8.<\/p>\n

She is the sister-ship of the BRP Tarlac (LD-601) which was commissioned in May of last year.<\/p>\n

While the Propmech Corporation-built MPACs were transferred and activated by the PN last May 22.<\/p>\n

With their arrival, the PN now has a fleet of around nine MPACs.<\/p>\n

Lincuna said this year’s PN anniversary theme is \u201cProtecting the Seas, Securing Our Future\u201d.<\/p>\n
