The ongoing construction of the airfield in Pagasa Island should be completed by the end of next month, Defense Secretary Delfin N. Lorenzana said on Sunday, adding the project will allow the landing of aircraft in Kalayaan municipality’s biggest island any time of the day. “What we are currently improving right now is the airport so that we could land there any time of the day or even any day because before, our aircraft could not land there if it was raining,” the defense chief said in an interview over radio station DZBB. Lorenzana said completion is being rushed but spillover of work could go until August.
