BRP Bienvenido Salting (PG-112) was a Tomas Batillo class fast attack craft of the Philippine Navy. Under the RPROK Defense Agreement, it was part of the first five PKM ships transferred by the South Korean government on 15 June 1995.[2][1] It arrived in the Philippines in August 1995 and was commissioned with the Philippine Navy on 22 May 1996.[5][1]
The ship was first commissioned and deployed by the Republic of Korea as Patrol Killer Medium 225 (PKM-225) in 1979. Since its Philippine Navy commissioning, it was actively deployed to conduct coastal patrol interdiction. BRP Bienvenido Salting was one of the assets of the Naval Task Force “Stingray” in the conduct of Internal Security Operations and was deployed in Naval Forces Central Area of Responsibility to secure local communities and critical infrastructure in coastal areas and tourist spots.[6]
As of 2012, the ship's fit-out is different from her sisterships which undertook refurbishing and updating works and still sports the original weapons fit-out.
Around mid-2016, the Philippine Navy started calling the ship in its new code designation "PC-112", following a new classification standard implemented in April 2016.
She was formally retired from service in a Decommissioning Ceremony at the Commodore Posadas Wharf East, Fort San Felipe, Cavite City on October 31, 2018, after serving 22 years in service.[7]
