Government troops have completed construction of a fishermen’s shelter on Mavulis Island, the uninhabited and northernmost island of the country. Also known as Y’Ami island, Mavulis is considered strategic, being the country’s northernmost frontier facing Taiwan and overlooking the busy Bashi Channel. “We have built a helipad there,” Armed Forces of the Philippines chief Gen. Benjamin Madrigal said.
