The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is building a fisherman’s shelter in the northernmost uninhabited island of Batanes, which will increase the presence of Filipino fisherfolk in the isolated area. Lt. Col. Isagani Nato, public information office chief of the military’s Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom), said the construction of the multi-purpose facility is now ongoing in Mavulis Island of Itbayat town. The transport of building materials started last April and the project will be completed in August.
