I cannot believe that the Philippine Coast Guard did not have reverse osmosis units available to desalinate sea water for drinking. At the very least they should have life boats with reverse osmosis (RO) units available for scavenging. Who would go to sea for an extended period of time without an RO unit or two?
I was on a cruise ship earlier this year, had its own system to make drinking water from the ocean... Royal Carribean Harmony of Seas... and it was operated by Phillipino workers... just like the rest of the ship...

Hard to imagine Phillipines military ships dont have ability to make its own water when a leisure cruise ship can do so

Cruise ships are some of the most sophisticated sea going vehicles you can build, even more so than aircraft carriers.

Big difference bro BRP_Teresa_Magbanua 2,200 ton VS Harmony of the sea 226,000 ton, plus If we followed the Harmony cruise itinerary the whole trip lasted 5 nites with multiple stops to replenished supply while the passenger disembarked. meanwhile BRP_Teresa_Magbanua had to hold station for 5 months, what a way to waste such precious resources as we have only two of them.

Question should be ask Who make the decision to order the withdrawal of the ship to port, its not Marcos for sure cause he is busy enjoying the company of Duran Duran.

Some things never change: Marcos Jr. is just as corrupt as Marcos Sr. but the son is just the most stupid and incompetent of the two.

More information about the water situation onboard has come to light:

BRP Teresa Magbanua's personnel had been drinking water from the rain and the air conditioning unit for over a month before it pulled out from Escoda Shoal
From 南海的浪涛, his sources say the reverse osmosis machine onboard broke down, hence why they were drinking rain water and air conditioning water. He also said the number of crew that had to be evacuated on stretcher were due to an outbreak of gastrointestinal disease and the resulting diarrhea was the reason for critical dehydration in a handful of crew.
