Sa kanyang binigkas na mensahe, binigyang diin ni Trinidad na ang Philippine Navy ay gumagawa ng ibat-ibang exercises kabilang na ang Navy lamang na unilateral, samantalang meron ding Exercise with the entire Armed Forces Navy, kasama ang Philippine Army, at Philippine Air force.
” I would say that the Philippine Navy in particular in the AFP in general their competence is very high and we are lucky for what we have now, ibig sabihin kung anong meron sa atin na ibinibigay ng gobyerno magagaling tayo doon, given more we perform better ganun kagaling ang mga Sundalong Pilipino,” pagbibigay diin ni Commo Trinidad.

Sinabi pa ni Trinida na ang aktibidad ay…” focuses on the PN’s thrust to sustain the Fleet-Marine units in the planning and execution of surface and amphibious operations and assault in the littoral battle space. Said exercise will be participated by different PN vessels, aircrafts, Marine Battalion Landing Teams, and PN Reservists.”

Casaclang PN (GSC) Exercise Director, Exercise Pagsisikap 2022, kasabay ng pahayag na…”In my capacity as the Exercise Director, it is with distinct honor and pleasure to extend my heartfelt and warm welcome to everyone to the opening ceremony of the Exercise Pagsisikap 2022. This unilateral Naval Exercise, being conducted annually aims to enhance further our Fleet-Marine capability with emphasis on surface and amphibious operations in support to the Navy’s Capability Development Plan, it will also serve as an opportunity to evaluate our doctrines and enhance the operations readiness and interoperability of participating Fleet-Marine Units such as PN Vessels, Amphibious Forces, Aircrafts, and Special Operation Team among others.”
“As we conduct this Exercise Pagsisikap 2022 in the province of Palawan, is an opportunity for Naval Forces West to connect to the local populace of Brookes Point, Palawan, and gain their trust and participation while making the PN operating units more familiar with its area of operations and more capable in responding to threats and challenges that may emerge.”
