MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Air Force (PAF) has begun relocating the personnel and equipment of the Major Danilo Atienza Air Base from Sangley Point, Cavite, to Cagayan De Oro.
The relocation process began last May 3, PAF acting spokesperson Col. Ritza Ann Jovellanos said in a Camp Aguinaldo briefing on Tuesday.
“The old Lumbia Airport will now be the home of the Trojans, yung 15th Strike Wing natin, para mabigyan ng mas malaking space,” Jovellanos detailed.
(The old Lumbia Airport will now be the home of the Trojans, our 15th Strike Wing, so that they’d be given more space.)
“Better facilities, new facilities were given. Binigyan naman din tayo ng bagong area, so it would be better na yung mas maganda na binigay sa atin,” she explained. “Mas maganda if we need more expansion.”
(Better facilities, new facilities were given. We’ve also been given a new area, so it would be better if we went with the better one given to us… It would be better if we need more expansion.)
