The Sulu provincial government handed over a 600-horsepower speedboat it donated to the Philippine Marines in support to its law enforcement operations in the southern Philippines.
The boat also serves as a multi-purpose vessel which the military can use in its rescue or logistic operations, among others.
Governor Totoh Tan and Vice-Governor Sakur Tan led the turnover of the speedboat to Brigadier General Martin Pinto, commander of the 2nd Marine Brigade, and Brigadier General Orlando del Leon, the deputy chief of the Western Mindanao Command who represented Lt. Gen. Rustico Guererro.
Both Pinto and De Leon thanked the provincial officials for the donation, saying, the speedboat equipped with three outboard engines, is a big contribution to the efforts of authorities in maintaining peace and order in the province.
The provincial government has been very supportive of the military and police authorities in Sulu in an effort to professionalize the uniformed personnel here.
