The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is set to construct its regional office and training facility in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte to improve enforcement of maritime laws in Northeastern Mindanao.
In a statement on Monday, April 3, PCG District North Eastern Mindanao Commander Commodore Luisito Sibayan said that discussions are underway for the construction of the PCG regional office and training facility in the Caraga region, specifically in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte.
The PCG said Flordelina Lopez, mother of a former PCG officer Lieutenant Ide Lopez Jr., has committed to donate a 5,000-square meter private land located at Barangay Tiniwisan to support the expansion of PCG’s infrastructure in Northeastern Mindanao.

The construction will commence right after the formal signing of the deed of donation that is scheduled in the second quarter of 2021.
“The realization of said infrastructure projects will enable the PCG District North Eastern Mindanao to improve the delivery of public service and enforcement of maritime laws in the Philippine waters,” Sibayan said.
Last Saturday, May 1, the PCG also announced the establishment of its recruitment center in the Caraga region at the Butuan City’s Government Center located in Barangay Tiniwisan.
The PCG said the resumption of nationwide recruitment has yet to be finalized, “pending on the approval of budget for addition personnel from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).”
