BACOLOD City – The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will setup its own airbase in Cadiz City, Negros Occidental.
The Coast Guard Station (CGS) in Negros Occidental made the announcement after PCG District Western Visayas deputy commander Captain Ludovico Librilla and Unifed president Manuel Lamata signed a deed of usufruct on Sept. 23.
Lamata donated a 30,000-square meter land property located in Cadiz City’s Barangay Luna directly to the PCG.
According to Librilla, the airbase will allow the PCG to conduct aircraft landing, refueling, and restocking of materials for logistical missions, such as search and rescue operations, reconnaissance, aerial surveys, and aerial domain awareness.
They were grateful to Lamata for donating a portion of his lot to support PCG’s mission to serve the nation with patriotism, compassion, and fear of God, he stressed./PN
