LEGAZPI CITY: The first Philippine Coast Guard Academy will be constructed on the iconic and historical island of Cagraray in Bacacay, Albay, this year, former Ako Bicol representative and now executive director Alfredo Garbin said.
The Sandiganbayan has convicted four former officials of the Philippine Coast Guard but cleared four others – including former commandant Vice Admiral Rodolfo Isorena – in the cases filed in connection with the irregular procurement of phone cards worth more than P6 million in 2014.
