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. As maritime law enforcers and first responders, they are often required to perform physically demanding tasks, such as search and rescue operations, disaster response and maritime security. Maintaining physical fitness ensures they are capable of executing their duties efficiently and safely. Moreover, being physically fit helps reduce the risk of injury, boosts mental resilience and fosters discipline and camaraderie among the personnel. 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. This SOP prescribes the guidelines and procedures in implementing the comprehensive health and fitness program for all active Officers and Non-Officers of the PCG.
