Cebu Island, Philippines - last port of call for HMAS Parramatta's North East Asian deployment
24 October 2007
The ship's company of ANZAC Class frigate HMAS Parramatta has berthed in its final port of call at Cebu Island in the Philippines as part of its North East Asian deployment.
Cebu Island is one of 7107 islands that make up the Republic of the Philippine, with Cebu city being the capital of the island and oldest city in the Philippines. Although Cebu Island is relatively small in size, only some 225 kilometres from North to South, Cebu is the Educational Centre for two thirds of the Philippines.
Official duties consisted of a visit to a local primary school and goodwill sport against Philippine Military teams.
A team of 35 personnel spent the day painting the entire school with the kids, while some of Parramatta’s technically-apt individuals conducted some basic running repairs.
