Recruitment

The Philippine Navy has announced that it will carry out the 1st Leg of Mobile Recruitment for CY2023. This means that the Navy will conduct a recruitment activity that will be mobile in nature, which will take place aboard Naval Operating Forces. The purpose of this activity is to reach out to potential candidates who are interested in joining the Philippine Navy as officers or sailors.

By conducting this mobile recruitment activity aboard Naval Operating Forces, the Philippine Navy hopes to attract more potential candidates and provide them with firsthand experience of what it’s like to serve in the Navy. The Navy believes that this approach will be an effective way to showcase the benefits of a career in the Navy, such as opportunities for personal and professional growth, travel, and the chance to serve and protect the country.

Overall, the 1st Leg of Mobile Recruitment for CY2023 is an important initiative by the Philippine Navy to attract and recruit the best candidates to serve in the Navy.
