ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – The Philippine Navy (PN)’s warship BRP Ramon Alcaraz arrived here yesterday morning after joining naval exercises of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) last month.
Alcaraz docked at the international port of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) here at about 8 a.m.
Navy public affairs chief Lt. Commander Marineth Domingo said before heading home, Alcaraz made a port call in Indonesia as a matter of courtesy for participating in the RAN exercises.
The naval exercises dubbed “Kakadu” were held from Aug. 25 to Sept. 12 in Northern Australia.
Domingo said the warship would hold a “show the flag” activity here before sailing for Subic, Zambales.
While in the city, Alcaraz will be opened to local residents for a tour of the ship.
Domingo said the frigate would undergo regular checkup in Subic.
