The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Auxiliary has a new
national director in the person of Rear Admiral Valentin B. Prieto.
As the seventh PCGA national director, he will lead the only
uniformed and civilian organization in the country composed of 6,000 members
coming from 12 auxiliary districts.
Prieto replaced Vice Admiral Joseph N. Dy, who resigned due
to health problems of his wife, the former Pasay City Rep. Consuelo Dy.
The PCGA is a service-oriented, uniformed, volunteer
organization established to assist the Coast Guard in the promotion of safety
of life and property at sea, the protection of the marine environment and its
resources, the conduct of maritime search and rescue, the maintenance of aids
to navigation, recreational safety and such other activities that enhance
maritime community relations which include civic action and youth development
through the National Service Training Program, and other related activities.
Prieto vowed to make the PCGA more stronger and effective
and further uphold its good working relationship with the Philippine Coast
Guard to pursue the common goal of promoting the safety of life and property at
sea.
“Vice Admiral Dy and I share the same vision for the PCGA,
thus our direction will be the same. We will execute the same projects while
adding a few more. We will pursue our common goals with the Coast Guard in an
atmosphere of friendship, understanding, brotherhood, and mutual respect,” he
said.
