Philippine Coast Guard to deploy vessels to earthquake-hit areas

In addition to her crew, additional medical personnel and emergency response equipment will be transported aboard the ship.

Three of the coast guard's smaller Parola-class MRRVs will also sail for Cebu to augment their sister ship BRP Sindangan, which is already forward-deployed in the province. The Parola-class vessels will transport K-9 search and rescue teams, medical personnel, and food and other relief aid.
