One of the newly-acquired ships of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will be given the rare opportunity to welcome on board a second highest official of the United States. This, after the PCG's BRP Teresa Magbanua (MRRV-9701) was chosen to welcome US Vice President Kamala Harris in her scheduled visit in Puerto Princesa City in Palawan on Nov. 22. "US Vice President Harris would receive a briefing on the Coast Guard's current maritime operations in Palawan. This will occur after the vessel tour onboard one of the two biggest PCG vessels to date," said PCG Spokesperson Commodore Armando Balilo.
