The entire article is pretty much a mess with repetitive "Commonwealth" this and that thrown in, but the "Filipino troops and sailors of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippine Commonwealth Navy (the Off-Shore Patrol)" is pure bunk. The Off Shore Patrol was an Army unit (and "Commonwealth" attached to every use is also bunk—it was known as "Philippine Army" in general usage of the time). In Morton's The Fall Of The Philippines the first chapter deals with the organization and background of the island's defense structure before the war.

This edit to a paragraph in the article concerning this topic caught my eye, and it struck me that the edited paragraph is completely unsupported here. Following the wikilink added by the edit, I found that there is substantial cite-supported material on this subtopic in the Philippine Constabulary Band section there. It seems to me that the bulk of this material is more relevant to this article to that one. Perhaps the addition material and cites from that article will bulk up coverage of this subtopic here sufficiently to recast it as a named subsection.
I suggest that both articles be reviewed with this in mind and appropriate edits be made to both articles. I will mention
