	Philippine Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mission of the Philippine Navy is to organize, train, equip, maintain, develop and deploy forces for prompt and sustained naval and maritime operations in the accomplishment of the AFP mission.
		On January 21, 1899, the Malolos Constitution was passed and made the President of the Republic the commander-in-chief of the Army and the Navy and transferred the Bureau of the Navy from the Ministry of Foreign Relations to the Department of War, which thereafter became known as the Department of War and the Navy.
		The Navy is the Fleet and the Fleet is the Navy.

	::: The Official Website of the PHILIPPINE NAVY :::
		Considering the vastness of the territorial waters that the Navy has to protect and defend, optimal emplacement of naval resources was achieved through deliberate identification of suitable spots where the presence of naval units are capable of delivering responsive services to the country and people...
		The Navy shall defend the territory from external aggression.
		The Navy shall continue to assist in the conduct of rescue and relief operations not only during accidents at sea but even during natural calamities in land such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods.

	::: The Official Website of the PHILIPPINE NAVY :::
		It is the chronicle of the rise of national consciousness on the importance of the seas that surround and traverse the scattered islands of the Philippines.
		Mention is made of a navy to be created “(w)hen the necessary army is organized … for the protection of the coasts of the Philippine archipelago and its seas; then a secretary of the navy shall be appointed and the duties of his office added to this Constitution.”
		The Navy was strengthened by the Malolos Constitution that was passed on Jan. 21, 1899 which made the President of the Republic the commander in chief of the army and the navy, and transferred the Bureau of navy to the Department of War, which thereby became the Department of War and Navy.

	The Trillanes Papers
		The Navy is particularly prone to such forms of corruption because of the highly specialized nature of its procurements that make it possible to justify negotiated bids and thereby make under-the-table deals with suppliers.
		The Philippine Navy traces its roots way back to the Philippine Revolution against Spain with the hand-over by the Americans of a captured Spanish steam pinnace to Gen Emilio Aguinaldo on 20 May 1898.
		But the Philippines, with its recognition as an archipelagic state, where all "the islands, waters and other natural features form an intrinsic geographical, economic and political entity", these roles seemed as paramount to the survival of the state as naval defense.

	Epochtimes English Edition-
		If Philippine Navy Lieutenant (Senior Grade) Antonio Trillanes IV had prepared for last Sunday's mini-rebellion as thoroughly as he did his research on military corruption, he and his disgruntled colleagues might have stood a chance.
		Trillanes, a 1995 honors graduate of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), is the son of a military officer and is married to an army captain, a 1997 PMA graduate.
		In the Philippines, however, corruption, instability and dire warnings are nothing new and experience suggests that the country leaders will view this wake-up call, like so many others, as just another excuse to hit the snooze button.

	Trillanes' Thesis
		The loci of corruption in the Navy are found in two distinct areas: in operational activities, which are ship-based and in administrative and support activities, which are shore-based.
		The prospects for the future of the Navy have been defined by two recent events: The success story that happened at the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) in 2000 and the PN leadership crisis on February 2001 which involved RAdm Guillermo G Wong AFP and the Philippine Marines.
		On February 2001, the Philippine Navy (and the AFP) was rocked by a leadership crisis when the Philippine Marines (PMAR) demanded the relief of the Flag-Officer-In-Command, Rear Admiral Wong (Pazzibugan 2001).

		MANILA - It is ironic that the Philippines, which is facing a two-pronged insurgency - the longest-running in Asia - and lately the "war on terror", is the most ill-equipped to handle such fighting, particularly when looking its Air Force and Navy, whose assets are mostly 50 years old.
		After World War II and until the late 1970s, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) and the Philippine Navy were second to none in Southeast Asia in terms of modern jet fighters and warships, respectively.
		The Philippine Navy (PN), on the other hand, needs entirely new ships to replace its aging war vessels, some of which are old as the Navy's oldest naval officer.

		The core of the modern small craft navy is composed of Halter-Marine 78 foot gunboats (built in US and Philippine shipyards) as well as two classes of South Korean designed and built boats plus a smattering of local and German built units.
		The core of the large ship navy are the six former US Patrol Craft Escorts/Escort Rescue ships, two ex-US Navy Auk class former minesweepers, one ex-US Admirable class ship, one Canon class frigate, all of the same World War II vintage.
		Some of the areas that the navy has to patrol have rough seas even in good weather (i.e., northern Luzon, between Taiwan and Batanes) where it is prudent not to use the smaller gunboats.

		A hallmark of the CARAT Philippine phase was also what crews from U.S. and Philippine armed forces did together on behalf of the communities that hosted them.
