The construction of a beaching ramp on Pag-Asa Island in the Kalayaan Island Group is expected to be completed by the end of the year, a development that would pave the way for the long-delayed repair of the Rancudo airfield in the municipality-cum-military outpost. This was according to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, who told reporters that work is now 60 percent complete. “After that we can start repairing the runway,” Lorenzana said during at the celebration of the 45th founding anniversary of the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines Friday night.
