The Armed Forces of the Philippines Eastern Mindanao Command (AFP-EASTMINCOM) hosted the 34th Philippines-Indonesia Border Committee Chairmen's Conference (BCCC) in Davao City.
Held annually, BCCC is the primary platform where the Border Committees of the Philippines and Indonesia discuss border-related issues.
Lt. General Aurelio B. Baladad, AFP-EASTMINCOM Commander, and Rear Admiral Darwanto, S.H., M.A.P. of the Indonesian Navy co-chaired the conference.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and other agencies, such as the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, Philippine Coast Guard and regional offices of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Bureau of Customs, Philippine Statistics Authority and the Maritime Industry Authority, lent supporting roles to AFP-EASTMINCOM in the conference.
Aside from discussing operational issues to enhance border cooperation, the Committee agreed on the need to review and revise the 1975 Philippines-Indonesia Agreements on Border Crossing and Border Patrol in order to attune them to current realities, especially in light of the signing and impending entry into force of the Philippines-Indonesia Agreement Concerning the Delimitation of the Exclusive Economic Boundary, which was signed in May 2014.
