Vice Adm. Eduardo Fabricante has been nominated officer-in-charge (OIC) of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) by Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, effective February 11.

Tugade made the statement during departing PCG commandant Adm. Leopoldo Laroya’s retirement ceremony on Thursday.

Fabricante is a 1989 graduate of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and was previously the PCG’s Deputy Commandant for Operations.

Tugade commended Laroya for his service and accomplishments as PCG commander during the ceremony.

Laroya, a Quezon City native, enlisted in the Philippine Military Academy in 1983 and graduated with the ‘Maringal’ Class of 1988.

He was the PCG Deputy Commandant for Operations, Commander of the Maritime Safety Services Command, Commander of the Coast Guard Education, Training, and Doctrine Command, and Commander of the Maritime Security and Law Enforcement Command before being named leader of the PCG.

He also led PCG Districts in Western Visayas, Northwestern Luzon, Southwestern Mindanao, and Bicol as District Commander.

Among the many decorations, he obtained over his 38-year career in public service were the Coast Guard Legion of Honor, Bronze Cross Medal, Outstanding Achievement Medals, Superior Achievement Medals, Coast Guard SAR Medals, and Military Merit Medals.

PCG spokesperson Commodore Armando Balilo previously stated that Malacaang will announce Laroya’s replacement based on Tugade’s recommendations.

Tugade has been recommended for five senior flag rank officers, according to the report, and he is anticipated to make his nomination to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Fabricante, Vice Adm. Oscar Endona Jr. (PMA Class of 1990), Vice Adm. Artemio Abu (PMA Class of 1992), Vice Admiral Rolando Lizor Punzalan (PMA Class of 1992), and Rear Adm. Ronnie Gil Gavan (PMA Class of 1993) are among them.
