CAMP GEN SERVILLANO AQUINO, Tarlac City (DWDD) – Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) achieved multiple significant accomplishments in the year 2018 under the command of LTGEN EMMANUEL B SALAMAT, AFP with its mission of advancing peace and development, fighting for the people’s rights and threats to peace, development, and security, and protecting s...overeign territory.
On its Territorial Defense Operations (TDO), NOLCOM covers the largest area of operations among all other Unified Commands of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Efforts like the Fishermen’s Dialogue and Consultative Meeting for the fisherfolks of Zambales and Pangasinan last June 14, 2018, in Iba Zambales was executed to raise Maritime Domain Awareness for its people. Construction of Fishermen’s Shelter in Mavulis on May 08, 2018 was started in order to increase maritime presence and governance among those disputed areas.
One of the most momentous events that happened in 2018 is the Philippine Rise Commemoration which spanned from May 14-15, 2018 and was graced by the presence of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the celebration includes the Send-Off of All-Filipino Scientists for Maritime Scientific Research in Philippine Rise; the casting of buoy made by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) as floating marker; laying of another marker at the shallowest point in Benham Plateau; and fly-by of aircrafts of different agencies conducting Maritime Air Patrol in the area. The effective utilization of the Area Task Force- North in the conduct of several multi-agency engagements led to the successful execution of its TDO.
Another notable event is the success of the conduct of Philippines- U.S. “Balikatan” Exercises which focused on both parties’ capabilities when it comes to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, counterterrorism, and mutual defense operations in order to increase their response effectiveness which includes a joint combined live-fire exercise and an amphibious raid.
The above-stated events were just some of NOLCOM’s significant accomplishments. The guidance under the command of LTGEN SALAMAT contributed greatly to the success of the NOLCOM’s overall operations joint together with the efforts of the NOLCOM personnel, the government, concerned agencies, and stakeholders. All of which were critical in achieving their one shared patriotic objective and that is to selflessly serve the people with Honor, Duty, and Integrity. NOLCOM / MCAG
