A total of 12 officers from the Coast Guard Auxiliary District National Capital Region-Central Luzon (CGADNCR-CL) have passed and graduated from the five-day comprehensive training program.

The completion reflects the PCGA’s dedication to continuous learning, capability enhancement, professional development, and maritime leadership.
“To our Superintendency Course 2026 graduates, congratulations on this remarkable achievement. May this milestone inspire you to continue leading with integrity, serving with dedication, and pursuing maritime excellence in every responsibility entrusted to you,” said Auxiliary Rear Admiral Frederick Gomez, PCGA, director of CGADNCR-CL, said.
