LGU pushes naval base installation in Maasim, Sarangani
ICC General Santos City (16 January) – The municipality of Maasim in Sarangani province strongly supports the installation of a naval base in its locality to beef up the security of this coastal area which has been constantly used as the entry and exit points of lawless elements aboard ferry boats.
In Resolution No. 07-003, the Sangguniang Bayan of Maasim, Sarangani has requested DENR Secretary Angelo Reyes to facilitate the appropriate allocation of a portion of land out of the Forest Land/Grazing Land Agreement (FLGLA) No. 578 registered under the name of Dolores Flores containing an area of 234 hectares located at Sitio Tampat, Tinoto of this municipalty into a naval base.
Maasim Mayor Aniceto Lopez, Jr. disclosed that Governor Miguel Dominguez staunchly supports the establishment of the aforementioned military reservation by closely coordinating with DENR and the Philippine Navy.
Lopez said the Philippine Navy representatives were the ones who identified the area as a suitable site of the naval base being strategically located.
The Philippine Navy’s request for the municipality to coordinate with the DENR Secretary is very valid considering the enormous benefits the naval facility will give not only for the town and the province, but also the southern portion of Mindanao as whole, in terms of security and economy.
