In a Facebook post, the Wescom said BRP Antonio Luna (FF151) and AW159 ASW "Wildcat" helicopter recently arrived in its area of responsibility.
The tandem of ASW platforms have been deployed along the Philippines' western border for maritime and sovereignty patrols that ensure effective maritime presence, particularly in the WPS, the military said.
According to Wescom, the recent deployment ensures the armed forces’ readiness and commitment to defending the country's maritime interests against any potential threats.
The recent inclusion of the AW159 helicopter completed the warfighting package of RP Antonio Luna. This is a necessary step to protect the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Wescom said.
Concerned crews have also been collaborating to ensure maximum readiness during any "eventualities".
For Wescom, the naval assets are a critical deterrent to any hostile forces in the region.
The tandem platforms engage in different tests and training activities while patrolling the WPS, according to Wescom.
