The provincial government of Sulu on Tuesday donated to the 2nd Marine Brigade a 600-horsepower speedboat to hasten the unit’s operation against Abu Sayyaf bandits.
Brig Gen. Martin Pinto, commander of the 2nd MBDE in Sulu, said the speedboat will boost their seaborne missions intended to prevent seafaring bandits from roaming freely in the seas separating the island towns in the province.
