BE A VOLUNTEER! JOIN THE PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TODAY!!!

-
Last May 21 - 23 2015 was the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) 31st National Convention held at Legazpi City, Albay. It was attended by more than 500 delegates all over Philippines. The theme for 2015 is " A Strong PCGA In Today's Changing Environment" aims to further strengthen the PCGA in its continuous effort to promote safety of life and property at sea, protect maritime environment and its resources, conduct maritime search and rescue and engage in activities to enhance maritime community relations. 

At the start of the convention, 6 Officers from Western Visayas received the Dolphin Service Award from the Commandant of Philippine Coast Guard; ADM Rodolfo D Isorena. Dolphin Service Award is the highest Award an Officer can receive after giving more than 20years of volunteer services to the organization. All 6 Officers were from Western VIsayas but 4 of them, were from Boracay Island under Squadron 609th. COMMO Leonard Tirol (Soon To Be Rear Admiral), COMMO Miguel Labatiao, CAPT Rufo Sacapano and CAPT Dionisio Salme. 

These Officers are successful businessmen in the island but instead of just enjoying their lives in the island, they are giving their time to volunteerism. They are one of the pillars that build Boracay Island! They set examples for many businessmen, always encouraging people to give it back to what they have received in the island. Men of Grace! Always ready to render their service and giving their love to Boracay Island.

Be a volunteer! Join the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary Squadron 609 Boracay. Make a difference in your life today and join one of the biggest non-profit organization in the Philippines. In recognition of the important role and contribution of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary and its members, the Legislators deemed it necessary to incorporate in Republic Act No. 9993, other wish known as the "Philippine Coast Guard Law of 2009", a provision which clearly defines the establishment of the PCGA as a civilian volunteer organization formed to assist the Philippine Coast Guard in the promotion of safety of life and property at sea, the preservation of the marine environment and its resources, the conduct of maritime search and rescue, the maintenance of aids to navigation, recreational safety and such other activities that enhance maritime community relations which include civic action, participation under the National Service Training Program, youth development and other related activities.

Anybody and everybody can join! We just need a heart full of grace and a soul generated with love. For more information of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, please log on to www.pcga609boracay.org or email us info@pcga609boracay.org.

RENEWAL OF TOUR GUIDE LICENCE

The following is an email to express my thought as a Tour Guide in Boracay Island but first thing first I would like thank Tatay Rey & Atty. Helen Catalbas of DOT Region VI in providing us the Tourists Arrival for 2012. For 2012, total arrival of Chinese & Taiwanese is 174,567 and Korean is 156,445. I would like mention these 2 markets since 90% of the tourists in these 2 markets do not speak English and totally rely on the assistance of tour guides in the island. Tour Guides for these 2 markets are Frontliners representing Philippines as a destination for fun and enjoyment. We are also representing Boracay Island as one of the best destination in the world and doing our best to represent well of the island.

Tides Have played in the beach for more than 6hours? Did you realise the same spot that you were playing become dry? Where is the water? When I was young, I thought it was magic but as I grow older than I understand that these changes are called tides due to the result of the gravitational pull of the moon and to a smaller extent, the sun. Tides affect divers by exposing or concealing rocks that are or near the water's surface. For example, a low tide may expose rocks that make the entry and exit hazardous, but when the tide rises, these rocks may be completely submerged and safe to swim over. You may also avoid long surface walk if you are diving in high tides. Currents In the ocean, currents are formed by winds, waves, tides, and the rotation of the earth.
