The Philippine Navy has recently launched the CY 2023 recruitment drive in order to increase its manpower and strengthen its ability to protect the country’s territorial waters. They are looking for highly motivated individuals willing to serve the country and contribute to its national security.
The Philippine Navy is a vital branch of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) responsible for safeguarding the country’s maritime interests, securing its territorial waters, and maintaining maritime peace and order. With ongoing territorial disputes in the West Philippine Sea and the ever-present threat of terrorism, the Philippine Navy requires an expansion of its fleet and manpower to improve operational readiness and capability.
