SOP 05-25 REVISED COLOR SCHEME ALERT STATUS IN PRESCRIBING ALERT LEVEL CONDITIONS
By:
CG-3
Since the separation of the Philippine Coast Guard from the AFP-Philippine Navy in 1998, the Organization developed its own policies in tune with other law enforcement agencies as the third armed uniformed service. By virtue of its mandate, capabilities and resources, the PCG must be prepared at all times to deal with maritime incidents, disasters, security threats and related crisis situations brought about by natural and man-made factors. Any such incident, crisis situation or imminent threat may be prevented or its adverse effects can be significantly minimized through the PCG’s well planned anticipation, preparedness, prompt action and implementation of prescribed guidelines and procedures in handling such situations. One of which is the procedures and guidelines in the declaration of various alert levels of the PCG relative to the perceived and existing security threats from man-made and natural disasters.This SOP aims to simplify the alert level conditions reverting to traditional color-coding scheme of White, Blue and Red Alert which is being used by other Law Enforcement Agencies in determining appropriate alert status.

CIR 04-13 AS ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR OPERATIONAL SUSTAINMENT THROUGH FORCE COASTING WITH PROPER PLANNING PROGRAMMING AND BUDEGETING IN ACTIVATING PCG UNITS OFFICER
By:
CG-3
This Circular establishes the framework for Force Costing related to the activation, operational sustainability and support of new units within the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). It ensures that both the operational and administrative needs of newly created units are identified, planned and budgeted accurately to enhance decision-making and resource allocation. This applies to all Functional Command, Operational Support Command, Operating Command, Administrative Support Command, Special Service Command, Technical Service Command and their subordinate units, and Central, Special, Personal and Technical Staff Offices. The Philippine Coast Guard’s Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution System (PPBES) is an essential framework that aligns budgeting with strategic planning, enhancing decision-making through analysis. Integrated within the Coast Guard’s System of responsibility. Management (SOM), PPBES works alongside other systems like the Financial Management System (FMS), which ensures effective resource allocation and fiscal The for Program Performance and Budget Execution Review (PPBER) provides an unbiased evaluation of the PCG's budget spending, ensuring efficient resource utilization. However, challenges persist, especially in meeting the operational costs the growing number of PCG units being activated. These costs include personnel, trainings, infrastructure, facilities, maintenance and transportation, which must be carefully planned and programmed by end-users and program directors to ensure adequate funding and their sustainability. As the PCG expands in response to both internal growth and external operational complexities, a lack of clear guidelines for assessing logistical needs hampers the sustainability of newly established units. Existing policies which are the CG-3/CGAO Circular No. 04-13 and NHQ-PCG/CG-3 Circular No. 19-21 do not provide procedures for determining the necessary resources to maintain Operations but only outline activation criteria which fails to address the logistical and operational needs of newly created units and their sustainability. To address these concerns, there is a need to improve the guidelines and procedures for assessing and justifying resource requirements which through these refined processes, the PCG can enhance its ability to effectively manage financial allocations, ensuring the long-term sustainability and operational effectiveness of its units. Hence, the concept of Force Costing will ensure proper resource allocation for new units, covering both one-time and recurring costs, such as manpower, maintenance, unit operations and sustaining support.
