the last week of december 202, said
philippine navy PN spokesperson
commander Benjo Nagranza in a message to
the philippine news agency when sought
for updates on the naval vessel

Dock and sea trials for BRP Gregorio Del Pilerr were conducted in the last week of
november. another sea trial will be
scheduled upon correction of noted
deficiencies if any found on the
previous sea trial, Negranza said.

undergoing maintenance, he assured the
public that the PN vigilantly stands
guard at our borders effectively
safeguarding philippine waters. One of
the ship's two variable pitch propellers
was damaged, along with its propeller hub
after its grounding off Hasahasa shoal
in august 2018.
Nagranza earlier said the dry docking
and other related repairs of BRP Gregorio Del Pilar are expected to be
completed by september. Difficulties in
procuring parts in the ongoing
