Philippine Coast Guard Commandant, Admiral Artemio Abu’s greatest pride and inspiration is his family. That is why when he became the chief of the PCG, he declared that his vision is to liken its existence to a family — the basic but most important unit of society.
“You set your aspirations high, then start small. I want to liken the PCG to the basic but most important unit of society — and that is family. In every home, we find love, hope, forgiveness, understanding, compassion. Inihalintulad ko ang Coast Guard sa isang malaking pamilya, isang masayang pamilya na nagkakaisa,” he says, noting that bringing people together toward a common cause is important to achieve success.Admiral Abu has been with the PCG since 1993.

But he did not stop until he cleared his name. Truth was on his side.He shares that when you are in public service, you have to be willing to sacrifice, and you should not be afraid of making decisions. “In making a decision, never be afraid to commit a wrong decision. Because committing a wrong decision is far better than making no decision at all. And two things to remember in making a decision: it has to be sound and it has to be timely.
When he was Ready Force Commander, he was instrumental in the design, identification of technical specification and qualifying the manning requirements for the 15 brand new coast guard vessels which were acquired by the Philippine government from Japan and France.
