Both Committees deliberated on matters of common concern and interest to both countries.
They agreed to continuously intensify the conduct of Coordinated Patrol operations that will seek to ensure security and maritime control in both countries' common borders.
Considering the porous shorelines of the archipelagic domains, both Committees also looked into the continuous operationalization of the Border Crossing Stations (BCS) situated at common border areas in order to provide a systematic scheme in closely monitoring the entry and exit of the nationals of both countries.
It is also the intent of both Committees to jumpstart the review of the 1975 Border Patrol and Border Crossing Agreements that will seek to recommend amendments of its provisions to be attuned to the prevailing situation in maritime security and terrorism in both countries.
