The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), as the primary maritime law enforcement agency in the Philippines, is mandated to perform regulatory, monitoring and law enforcement functions to implement laws, policies, rules and regulations for the promotion of safety of lives and properties at sea, maritime security and the protection of the marine environment within the maritime jurisdiction of our archipelagic nation. In order to effectively perform its mandates, related laws and policies require all PCG personnel to be physically fit, as physical fitness is an integral component of the overall health, well-being and operational readiness of PCG personnel.

Maintaining physical fitness ensures they are capable of executing their duties efficiently and safely.

Incorporating fitness routines, such as endurance training, strength conditioning and agility exercises, into the PCG’s daily regimen is essential for optimal performance.This SOP shall apply to all active Officers and Non-Officers of the PCG.
