BALANGA CITY (PIA) — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) launched its Intensified Community Assistance, Awareness, Response, and Engagement Campaign Plan 2025 in Abucay, Bataan, underscoring its commitment to public service and community resilience.
The campaign supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to bring essential services closer to the people, particularly in coastal and indigenous communities.
Coast Guard Station Bataan Lieutenant Commander Michael John Encina said the event featured several community-centered activities, including medical and dental missions, a feeding program, and the distribution of relief goods, all aimed at addressing the basic health and welfare needs of residents.
“This launch in Barangay Bangkal marks the beginning of sustained and intensified Coast Guard presence and community support in the area. It also reaffirms the agency’s dedication to inclusive service, maritime safety, and proactive humanitarian engagement, all in line with the mission to serve and uplift the lives of Filipinos—leaving no one behind,” he emphasized.
The PCG also encouraged continued collaboration with local stakeholders to strengthen public trust and ensure the responsive delivery of services in coastal areas. (CLJD/RPQ, PIA Region 3-Bataan)
