The Philippine Navy (PN) Heavy Landing Vessel BRP Ivatan (LC298) departed Sangley Point, Cavite City today, November 21, to transport the National Identification System (PhilSys) registration packages to the Visayas area.
LC298 skippered by Cdr. Paul Anthony Yamamoto, carries a total of 35,481 tons of cargo which include 1897 PhilSys registration kits to be distributed in eight provinces of the area such as Cebu, Bohol, Iloilo, Antique, Capiz, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Leyte.
This is in line with the logistics support extended by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) and Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) using its sea, air, and land assets to enable the distribution of PhilSys registration kits to 32 PSA provincial offices all over the country. In addition to the Navy, the Philippine Army covers delivery in Luzon, and Mindanao for the Philippine Air Force.
This mission highlights the ability of Philippine Navy, among other branches of AFP, to provide much-needed logistical support, especially during this time of pandemic when transport between islands and provinces is limited.
It further demonstrates the PNs readiness to collaborate with other government agencies toward bringing to the people the services they need.
